About BAIKOWSKI

BAIKOWSKI is a French industrial company with a century-long heritage, specialized in ultra-high-purity fine mineral oxides for demanding high-technology applications. Founded in France in 1904, the company has built a strong reputation in advanced materials, with recognized expertise in high-purity alumina, spinel, YAG, zirconia, cerium oxide and phosphors. Listed on Euronext Growth Paris under the ticker ALBKK and ISIN FR0013384369, BAIKOWSKI occupies a niche position in value-added specialty materials, relying on innovation, product customization and deep industrial know-how. The company’s business model is centered on the production of powders, slurries and spray-dried powders used in multiple advanced end-markets. Its solutions serve technical ceramics, transparent and translucent ceramics, precision polishing, synthetic crystals, coatings and additives for advanced materials. BAIKOWSKI also targets applications linked to energy, semiconductors and optics/photonics. In addition, the group develops products for batteries, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), ceramic matrix composites (CMC), as well as bioceramics and dental materials. The acquisition of Mathym in 2019 broadened the portfolio further by adding innovative nano-dispersion technologies. From an industrial standpoint, BAIKOWSKI operates through an international footprint that includes production and R&D centers in France, the United States and Japan. This geographic setup gives the group access to major industrial hubs while enabling close technical support for global customers. It is a meaningful competitive advantage in markets where tight specifications, consistent quality and supply-chain reliability are critical. The company positions itself as a solution partner rather than a commodity supplier, with a focus on tailor-made materials for fast-growing industries. BAIKOWSKI’s key end-markets are closely tied to major structural trends: energy transition, semiconductor miniaturization, advanced optics and high-performance industrial ceramics. Its materials are used in applications where purity, particle size control and functional performance are essential. The group’s portfolio also reflects a broader move toward sustainable technologies, including oxide-oxide CMC solutions and materials designed to support more efficient energy systems. One of the company’s defining characteristics is its long operating history and its ability to combine industrial continuity with innovation. BAIKOWSKI emphasizes responsible manufacturing, environmental commitments and quality management standards, alongside a global growth strategy. Its latest financial communications indicate strong momentum in 2024, underlining the resilience of its specialized business model and the attractiveness of its positioning in high-entry-barrier markets.
