Texsa

What Texsa does

TEXSA SAS is a French-registered manufacturer of waterproofing and roofing solutions for building and civil engineering applications, operating as a subsidiary within the SOPREMA group. Founded in 1954 on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain, the company runs production facilities in Castellbisbal and Cervera (Spain) and Alpiarça (Portugal), with its French registered entity headquartered in La Penne-sur-Huveaune (share capital €587,000, RCS Marseille 478 232 929) and supported by three third-party logistics depots in Corbas, Lespinasse, and Mitry-Mory. The product portfolio spans four lines: bituminous waterproofing membranes (MOPLAS SBS series including garden, buried-wall, and vapor-barrier variants); liquid waterproofing resins (MOPREN TOP, MOPREN TOP FIBRE, MOPREN PUR, with primers, finishes, and adhesives); drainage and filtration systems (DRENTEX nodule membranes, DRENTEX PSE drainage boards, GEOFLEX geotextiles); and vegetation solutions (pre-cultivated sedum mats and extensive/semi-intensive/intensive substrates), supplemented by TEXLOSA R self-supporting XPS slabs, fixed and adjustable pedestals, adhesives (TEXGLUE PUR, PREJUNTER HD 25), and slate flake finishes. Products are differentiated by hot-air welded membranes eliminating torch fire risk, Cool Roof reflective membranes, solvent-free resins reducing VOC emissions, and root-resistant anti-root agents.

TEXSA serves construction professionals across three primary segments: building construction (new build and renovation of flat roofs, terraces, underground structures, balconies, and technical zones), civil engineering (bridges, roads, tram rails, parking structures), and green-roof/vegetation systems (stormwater retention and rooftop gardens). The company holds QB 55 certification from CSTB, European Technical Assessments (ETA), Avis Techniques, a Document Technique d'Application (DTA) for the MOPLAS SBS MONOCOUCHE APPARENT system, CE marking, and FDES environmental declarations. Products reach customers through a direct sales-led model with regional sales managers covering French territories (Ile de France, Occitanie), a system selector tool hosted on the SOPREMA website, and distribution into more than 36 countries. Pricing is quote-based with 45-day end-of-month payment terms; the company is affiliated with VALOBAT for construction-product waste compliance under France's AGEC law. The management team is led by General Director Baptiste Giandomenico, with regional sales leadership in place for the principal French territories and dedicated technical service and sales administration functions.
