Sicomin celebrates 40-year anniversary
Expanded operations, customer application highlights and newly launched GreenPoxy products at this year’s events serve to honor the company’s 40 years in the composites industry.
Sicomin (Châteauneuf les Martigues, France), a well-known formulator and supplier of high-performance epoxy and bio-resin systems, begins a year-long celebration to mark its 40th anniversary. Founded in 1983 by President Philippe Marcovich, Sicomin has built a tradition of excellence in providing its customers with innovative epoxy resin solutions for the aerospace, defense, marine, renewable energy, sports and civil engineering markets throughout Europe, the U.S. the Middle East and Asia.
Sicomin will celebrate its anniversary with a series of events running throughout its 2023 schedule of industry trade shows that will include JEC World, METS and CAMX. At its first show of the year, JEC World 2023, the company is adding two novel high-performance products to its GreenPoxy range when it launches new bio-based infusion and laminating options for highly structural components.
Sicomin is also expanding its operations in France with the opening of a new 1,500-square-meter facility in Brittany. The premises include a large warehouse, product showroom, materials test lab and extended office space for the growing team that service Sicomin clients throughout northern and western France.
Throughout the year, the group will also look back at some of its customers’ most innovative and creative applications as it presents a series of social media snapshots showcasing the diversity of composite products enabled by Sicomin’s epoxy product portfolio.
“Celebrating 40 years in business is a landmark occasion for Sicomin and I would like to thank all those that have supported us,” Philippe Marcovich, president, Sicomin, says. “I am proud of both the amazing projects that our customers have created using our materials, and of the innovative new epoxy solutions developed by the Sicomin team, over the last 40 years. Sicomin will continue to focus on innovation as we move into the next 40 years and beyond, collaborating with our customers to develop unique, custom-made formulations that satisfy their most challenging requirements.”
