A strategic decision has been made to change Apply Carbon’s (Plouay, France) name to Procotex France, efforts that leverage its parent company’s stronger global brand denomination.

“Procotex has greater international recognition and is a well-established player in the industry,” says Bruno Douchy, sales director of the Procotex Group (Mouscron, Belgium). “Procotex is confident that this name change will further enhance the collaboration and communication with customers. So Procotex SA in Belgium remains, and our daughter company, Apply Carbon in France, will get the name ‘Procotex France.’”

Procotex France specializes in recycled carbon and aramid fibers. Its strength lies in its manufacturing processes, reliable supplier network, comprehensive product range and focus on quality. Following a double-digit million euro investment in 2023 and the establishment of a modern 16,500-square-meter recycling facility, Procotex France now produces more than 2,500 metric tons of recycled carbon and aramid fiber per year, with a nameplate capacity exceeding 4,000 metric tons.

A series of achievements and investments announced in February (find details here) aim to strengthen Procotex France’s ability to drive the transition to sustainable raw materials in the compounding industry, among others.
