Discover Who We Are :
The company’s story now begins with the merging of two industry leaders, Paredes and ORAPI, to form Groupe Paredes Orapi.
This fusion brings together Paredes’ 82 years of expertise with ORAPI’s 56-year legacy. The group is now led by François Thuilleur, CEO of Groupe Paredes Orapi. The merger, completed in March 2024, has created a formidable integrated player in the professional hygiene and industrial maintenance sectors. By combining the strengths of a manufacturer (ORAPI) and a distributor (Paredes), the group now controls the entire value chain, from production to optimised distribution.
The company’s international expansion began with its first Asia subsidiary in Singapore in 2004. This was followed by the acquisition of Applied Chemicals in Singapore and Malaysia in 2006, and later Complete Care System Co. Ltd. in Thailand in 2011. A further step into the Middle East was taken in 2012 with the incorporation of a subsidiary in Dubai.
Today, with a combined turnover of 443 million euros, Groupe Paredes Orapi is the number one integrated player in France and a key player across Europe.
