ADDIPLAST GROUP: EXPERT IN COMPOUND AND MASTERBATCH FORMULATION, MANUFACTURING, FIREPROOFING, AND COLORING
The Addiplast Group’s Beginnings: European Leader in Compounds and Masterbatches
ADDIPLAST GROUP is a French family-owned company created in 1986 by Jean-Paul Chantegraille who relied on his experience as a scientific researcher in a large chemical group to develop a global high-performance offer.
ADDIPLAST GROUP has developed expertise in compound and color masterbatches formulation, manufacturing, flame retardancy, and coloring.
The main markets are : Chemicals, Automotive & Mobility, Electrical, Electronic, Appliances & Energy, Cosmetics, Healthcare, Packaging, Consumer goods and 3D Printing. The production capacity initially amounts to 20,000 tons per year.
ADDIPLAST GROUP has established itself at the international level by relying on its technical support approach from formulation to industrialization with processors.
The research center, named Addiscience®, was created in 2007. Research and innovation work is carried out within this R&D center. The latter gathers engineers, formulators, technicians, doctors in chemistry, colorists, and produces more than 400 formulations per year.
From 2014 to 2015, the second generation was in place, and the Addikem manufacturing site was established through a significant investment to support the group’s growth.
It is equipped with co-mixer compounding equipment (two lines using Buss technology) and a co-rotating extrusion line.
The facility is capable of processing high-concentration thermosensitive polymers and fluorinated polymers.
Production capacity is increased by 10,000 tons at the Addikem site, bringing the Addiplast Group’s total capacity to 35,000 tons per year.
The Addikem site serves as a security and “backup” facility for the group’s strategic customers.
2021 will be the year of diversification, as the group acquires a new production site located in Villers-Saint Paul in the Oise region.
This entity, named ADDICOLOR, benefits from expertise in the development and manufacture of color and functional masterbatches (PE, PP, PA, EVA, ASA, MABS, PBT, PLA, PS, PET, PET-G, ABS, PC, PMMA, SMMA). This new know-how in the fields of compounding (extrusion granulation) and in-line crystallization (PET) reinforces the development strategy of the group.The ADDICOLOR facility has an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons.
In 2025, investments in production facilities were renewed to support the group’s increased production capacity.
Today, ADDIPLAST GROUP has 3 production sites in France, 2 Research and Development Centers, 160 employees, and a production capacity of 45,000 metric tons.
