About ORAPI

ORAPI is a French industrial group specialized in the design, manufacturing and commercialization of technical consumables for professional hygiene, industrial processes and maintenance. Historically rooted in the Lyon area and listed on Euronext Paris, the company was built around a strong formulation and industrial know-how in cleaning, disinfection, decontamination and maintenance products. Its profile places it within specialty chemicals, with a business model primarily focused on B2B customers and on operationally critical consumables. The group markets a broad portfolio of products under several well-known brands, including Orapi, Gracin, Hexotol, Boldair, Spado, Fury, Wyrtol, Gloss, Action Verte and Jex Professionnel. Its range covers degreasers, disinfectants, hygiene and decontamination products, wiping pads, lubricants, adhesives and glues, as well as maintenance and daily cleaning references. This diversified offering enables ORAPI to serve a wide variety of end markets, from local authorities and facilities management operators to industrial customers and professional distributors. Over time, ORAPI developed an integrated model combining production, formulation and distribution. As of year-end 2023, the group operated 7 production sites worldwide, reflecting a meaningful industrial footprint and the ability to meet demanding requirements in terms of quality, compliance and supply continuity. Market data indicates that revenue was heavily concentrated in Southern Europe, with smaller contributions from Northern Europe, North America and other regions. France remains the company’s historic and largest market. A major recent development is the reshaping of the group through the combination with Paredes. Since the completion of the takeover bid in March 2024, the combined Paredes Orapi group has positioned itself as the integrated leader in the French professional hygiene market, with about EUR 435 million in revenue and a footprint across multiple European and international countries. This transaction strengthened the group’s scale, commercial reach and value chain control. ORAPI therefore combines a long industrial heritage with a renewed strategic position, supported by market consolidation, logistics optimization and a broader service offering.
