Ah, France — the land of fashion, fine wine… and yes, some seriously good silicone manufacturers. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to connect with French buyers and brands, especially in the cosmetic, kitchenware, baby, and industrial sectors. French companies tend to value aesthetics, compliance, and sustainable sourcing — and their manufacturers reflect that blend of beauty and precision.
In this list, I’ll walk you through the Top 10 Silicone Manufacturers in France — and I’m also proud to include Ruiyang Silicone, as we’ve been working closely with French importers and distributors for years.
Let’s get into it — with a baguette in one hand and a silicone mold in the other.
1. Elkem Silicones France SAS – The Undisputed Leader
Headquartered in Lyon, Elkem Silicones France is a global powerhouse. With origins tracing back to Rhône-Poulenc, Elkem now leads the market in specialty silicone formulations for automotive, electronics, construction, and healthcare.
Their Silbione® line is widely used in medical and cosmetic applications. Elkem’s French operations are deeply invested in sustainable chemistry, and their Lyon R&D campus is one of Europe’s top innovation hubs for silicone.
2. Bluestar Silicones (Now part of Elkem)
Before merging with Elkem, Bluestar Silicones was a prominent player on its own. Based in Saint-Fons near Lyon, it helped pioneer many of the silicone emulsions, elastomers, and resins now under the Elkem brand.
Why mention them separately? Because their legacy in French silicone manufacturing is huge — many current engineers and technical standards originated from Bluestar’s early work in cosmetics and medical-grade silicones.
3. Ruiyang Silicone – French Brands’ Favorite OEM Partner
Yes — that’s us again, and proudly so. We’ve been manufacturing custom silicone products for French importers and brands for over a decade. While we’re based in China, we serve France with the precision and aesthetic standards they demand.
Our top-selling items in France include:
- LFGB-certified silicone bakeware and utensils
- Custom logo baby products
- Silicone molds for cosmetics and handmade soaps
French clients love our flexible customization, fast mold development, and strong compliance documentation. Whether it’s working with boutique culinary brands in Paris or eco-friendly startups in Provence — we’ve earned our place in the French silicone supply chain.
4. Silinov SAS
Silinov, based in Bordeaux, specializes in medical-grade and implantable silicone components. They’re known for ultra-clean facilities and long-term collaborations with orthopedic and dental device manufacturers.
Their ability to manufacture small, precision silicone components in short runs makes them a preferred supplier for clinical trial-stage and early-market devices. If you’re in medtech, Silinov is definitely one to watch.
5. Silicone Altimex (Part of Avantor Group)
Located in Paris, Altimex is a premium silicone tubing and extrusion specialist that now operates under Avantor, a global life sciences giant. Their main focus is biopharmaceutical-grade tubing used in sterile applications.
With certifications like ISO 13485 and USP Class VI, they’re a top supplier to French biotech and pharmaceutical firms. Their silicone solutions are used from lab benches to bioreactors.
6. Sibille Industrie
A unique player, Sibille Industrie develops silicone components for electrical insulation — particularly in high-voltage environments. They serve energy utilities, railway networks, and heavy machinery OEMs.
Their molded and extruded parts are heat-resistant, flame-retardant, and electrically safe. I admire how specialized and technically rigorous their product line is — perfect for infrastructure applications.
7. Mesgo France (Part of Hexpol Group)
Mesgo France, located near Lyon, is a compounder of silicone rubber, particularly LSR and HCR. They don’t make finished products but supply raw material to other French processors. Their compounds are used in industries ranging from automotive to food contact.
Their strength is custom compound development — ideal if you need a unique formulation for compression or injection molding.
8. Multibase France (A Dow Company)
Multibase, based in Le Pont-de-Claix, specializes in silicone-based additives and thermoplastic elastomers. As part of Dow Chemical, they integrate silicone technologies into plastics, making them softer, more flexible, or more durable.
They’re a crucial supplier for industries that use multi-material parts, especially automotive interiors and wearables.
9. Socomore Group
Although better known for surface treatments, Socomore has developed a silicone-based product line for aerospace and defense. These include fire-retardant silicone sealants and coatings, often used in Airbus and Dassault aircraft.
They operate under rigorous quality control systems and offer strong R&D collaboration with aviation suppliers.
10. Eldec France
Based in Strasbourg, Eldec France is a custom silicone molding workshop focused on small-batch production. They serve boutique clients needing branded silicone promotional items, parts for prototypes, or tailor-made gaskets.
Their niche? Flexibility. You can show up with a sketch, and they’ll help you turn it into a working part fast. Perfect for local startups and design houses.
Final Thoughts
