PANNEX

What PANNEX does

PANNEX (operating as Pannex's or Pannex Services) is a French privately held specialty operator based in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, Île-de-France, focused on contre-collage — the industrial lamination of vinyl or paper coatings onto plasterboard and particle board surfaces. The company was established in September 2015 via the takeover of SADIF's business activity and carries more than 20 years of accumulated know-how in the lamination craft. It is structured as a SASU (Société par Actions Simplifiée Unipersonnelle) with €310,000 of share capital and operates with roughly 10 employees.

Its core technology is the lamination process itself, supplemented by digital printing for the CITY range and proprietary recyclable paper formulations under the INFINY range. Product lines span own-brand wall coverings (CITY digital prints, INFINY papers and vinyls), functional metal panels (magnetic and write-on panneaux tôlés), and an upcoming anti-stain range. Pannex complements its proprietary products with a distribution layer for major manufacturer brands including Placo, Siniat, Fermacell, Unilin, Plastylon, Muraspec, Durafort, Vescom, Cotting, Texdecor, and Revilox.

The business model is sales-led B2B distribution and custom lamination services, executed through two regional commercial managers covering North and South France. Revenue is generated via one-time project contracts and hardware/panel sales to construction professionals, interior designers, and building contractors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Pannex holds recycling conventions with Placo and Siniat, supports GDPR-compliant data practices, and runs a lean operation with limited geographic scope (France only, Île-de-France production).
