Lefrant RUBCO
THE COMPANY
Installed on 8 hectares in Muille-Villette, in the North of France, in the heart of the European Union, and at the crossroads of the main roads of Western Europe, Lefrant Rubco was originally specialized in the production and the treatment of vegetable oils in order to produce rubber additives known as factices. She has therefore been in green chemistry since 1898! Over four generations, the company has been able to support the changing needs of its customers and diversify its activities while maintaining its long tradition of seriousness and competence.
+100 years
of experience
In the 1980s, it thus began to offer its custom work services in the fields of powder chemistry and liquid chemistry, keeping green chemistry and more particularly bio-based chemistry as its guideline. It has facilities allowing it to perform custom chemistry operations such as mixing, chemical transformation, liquid reconditioning, powder reconditioning, ancillary operations such as filtration or sieving, and more.
Diversification continued in 2010 when Lefrant Rubco acquired a manufacturing activity of additive for road paints marketed in the form of a dispersant for paints facilitating the mixing of mineral and pigment fillers in an aqueous medium, before developing its own formula for decorative paints.
