About Societe Anonyme D' Explosifs et de Produits Chimiques

SOCIETE ANONYME D’EXPLOSIFS ET DE PRODUITS CHIMIQUES, better known as EPC Groupe, is a French industrial company listed on Euronext Paris under ISIN FR0014003AQ4 and ticker EXPL. The group specializes in the design, manufacture, distribution and implementation of civil explosives. Its business model is built around a fully integrated explosives value chain, from production to on-site execution, and it serves the mining, quarrying, tunneling and drilling-and-blasting markets. EPC emphasizes operational safety, technical performance and innovation as core pillars of its industrial positioning. The company has a long industrial heritage, with EPC Groupe highlighting more than 130 years of expertise in explosives and related chemistry. Over time, it has evolved from a classic explosives manufacturer into a broader services and technology platform. Today, EPC Groupe operates across five continents, with 40 subsidiaries in 28 countries, giving it a strong international footprint and a local delivery model close to major clients. This geographical spread is especially important in mining regions, where proximity, logistics and field support are critical competitive advantages. Its activity is now organized into several business lines. The historic core remains explosives and drilling-blasting, covering manufacturing, distribution and technical services on customer sites. EPC also has a growing Urban Mining segment, which includes deconstruction, construction-waste treatment, asbestos removal and circular-economy activities. In addition, the group operates a Global Technical Solutions (GTS) division focused on engineering, digital tools and technical services, including software aimed at improving productivity, traceability and operational control. From a market standpoint, EPC Groupe is one of the leading players in France in civil explosives and also a recognized international operator. The group has recently strengthened its growth profile through acquisitions such as Blastcon Australia and Pirobras, which supported a 6.0% increase in 2025 consolidated revenue to EUR 591.9 million. Management has also continued to pursue international expansion and industrial consolidation, notably through the announced exclusive negotiations with Société Suisse des Explosifs in 2026, a move that could create a major European civil explosives platform.
