Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Blejoi, Prahova County, Romania, the company operates across three primary sales channels: business-to-business wholesale distribution to traditional retail outlets and DIY building merchants; direct project sales and technical procurement services to corporate contractors and infrastructure developers; and direct-to-consumer online retail. The company provides an extensive portfolio of building solutions, structured systematically into core categories: structural and masonry materials, including Portland cement, masonry mortars, hydraulic binders, ceramic bricks, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, reinforcing steel, and structural metallic profiles; thermal insulation and waterproofing systems, including expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), basalt mineral wool, fiberglass insulation, bituminous membranes, vapor barriers, and polymer waterproofing mortars; drywall and ceiling systems, including standard and moisture-resistant gypsum plasterboards, acoustic ceiling tiles, galvanized steel framing, joint compounds, and mounting accessories; interior and exterior decorative finishes, including acrylic and silicone paints, primers, decorative textured plasters, ceramic tiles, tile adhesives, grouts, and self-leveling floor screeds; roofing and drainage systems, comprising metallic roof tiles, ceramic tiles, corrugated sheets, underlayment membranes, gutters, and downspout assemblies; and installation hardware and tooling, including power tools, hand tools, mechanical fasteners, anchors, sealants, and occupational safety equipment. Alongside distributing international and domestic brand products from manufacturers such as Henkel Ceresit, Knauf, Saint-Gobain, Wienerberger, Baumit, Holcim, Romcim, and Tondach, SIPEX produces and markets proprietary private-label product lines, including Abralux and ProfiPisic.
