EPC Groupe Overview

The EPC Groupe was established in 1893. The group's core activity is that of manufacturing and supplying commercial explosives and tailor-made services to the mining, cement, aggregates and civil engineering industries. The group has expanded into a multinational organisation with activities in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

With its headquarters in Paris, the group directs its subsidiaries in each country of operation. The support the EPC Groupe provides the subsidiaries includes explosive manufacturing know-how, extensive R&D, product support and a broad range of experience gained over more than a century of involvement in the product sector. Utilising this support the subsidiaries are able to supply their customers with world standard products and services.

The strategy of the EPC Groupe is based upon three different complementary activities in commercial explosives:

1. Production of bulk and packaged explosives
2. Sales, distribution and technical support
3. Downstream services, which include drilling
and blasting services, training, assessing and blasting consultancy.

The EPC Groupe business model and mission is:

To enforce the highest level of safety, security and ethics in all our operations
To focus and develop our expertise both geographically and technically in order to maintain our status as professional, competent operators.
To develop our presence in new markets, both geographically and in technical expertise
To propose solutions and services adapted to meet the specific requirements of our customers and markets

The EPC Groupe's turnover is in excess of 348 million euros, 60% of which is explosives, drilling and blasting, 29% demolition with 11% other activities.

The EPC Groupe has extensive operations throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East territories producing in excess of 145,000 tonnes of explosives annually.

The EPC Groupe's worldwide subsidiaries are co-ordinated in order to benefit from their individual experiences and continuing investment in R&D, ensuring the group is first to market with innovations and best practice. This international collaboration is a clear strength in today's global markets, where companies expect consistent operational standards.
