Building tomorrow’s world : our societal commitment
A collaborative European vision supported by strong partnerships in Brittany and Bavaria
At Silvadec we’re proud to be integrated locally in Europe, with production sites in Brittany (France) and Bavaria (Germany).
All our products are made in Europe, from European raw materials carefully selected for their environmental and technical characteristics.
Silvadec is a member of the organisation “Produced in Brittany”, France’s number one regional brand in terms of scope and reputation.
Aside from items we produce ourselves, 99% of the accessories we offer are sourced within Europe .
Our preference is to form local agreements with SMEs that are experts in their field, so we can all grow together!
Silvadec cultivates lasting partnerships, here are a few examples:
- Our clips have been manufactured by a small business in the Jura region for 15 years.
- Our aluminium posts come from a Spanish company we have been working with for 12 years.
- Our colorants are produced in Morbihan by a specialist SME, fully meeting our highly demanding specifications.
We are growing the Silvadec family through local, vertical and horizontal integrations:
- In 2014: we founded Silvadec Fibres, in partnership with Josso, the largest sawmill in Brittany, strengthening the local economy with the creation of 8 jobs.
- In 2025: Heuliad Environnement was established, born from the meeting of Silvadec and Cairn Groupe — two companies with expertise in their respective fields. This founding alliance gave rise to a plastic recycling sector rooted in the Brittany region in France, driven by a shared industrial ambition and a common vision of the circular economy.
Partnerships for growth and investment in future generations
Our local integration also translates into strong relationships with the region’s schools and universities.
- Every year since 2005, we have hosted apprentices from the Institut Catholique d'Arts et Métiers (ICAM), a highly reputed group of engineering schools located in 6 cities in France and in other countries.
And incidentally , our very first apprentice, Ruben Mignon, is now Director ofSilvadec Fibres !
- We also have a partnership with the Southern Brittany University (Université Bretagne Sud, UBS) , in which we fund post-doctoral theses.
Here at Silvadec, long-term regional development is at the heart of our approach, and of real value to us !
