The history of Sacred Group

SACRED was founded in 1946 in Boulogne-Billancourt, to the west of Paris, and then relocated in 1956 to Saint-Lubin-des-Joncherets in the Eure-et-Loir department. It is now France’s leading medium-sized company in its field, bridging the gap between the big names and the various SMEs in the industry. We are highly specialised in our domain and are active contributors to our profession, especially with the “Centre Français du Caoutchouc et des Polymères” (The French Centre for Rubber and Polymers), “La Fondation du caoutchouc” (The Rubber Foundation), Polymeris and FIEV (the French Vehicle Equipment Industries Association).

Over the last 70 years, the SACRED Group has evolved to become one of France’s leading specialists with an international presence in the formulation and development of elastomer compounds and the moulding of flexible elastomer and/or thermoplastic parts for clients in all industry sectors.

SACRED has established multiple locations worldwide for proximity to its customers, while at the same time consolidating its policy centre and its research and development centre in France. We have four production sites in France (in the Eure-et-Loir, Haut-Rhin, Allier and Rhône departments) and four worldwide (in China, Mexico, Romania and Morocco). Our group headquarters and our research and development centre are located in the Eure-et-Loir department.

We supply large international groups (such as PSA, Renault Nissan, Schneider, Krupp and Bosch) by developing a policy of innovation, quality and service from our production facilities.
Our commitment to the environment logically demonstrates our willingness, within our scope of influence, to affirm our core values: Independence, Proactivity, Commitment, Sustainable and Responsible Growth, Local and Global Balance. This commitment enables us to formalise our approach on the following key areas and to measure their progress and long-term impact:

  • Integrate green biosourced materials
  • Recycle and recover our raw materials
  • Save energy
  • Evaluate our carbon footprint.

Our values

SACRED has become France’s leading medium-sized company in the industrial rubber sector by pursuing a business model that continually aims to balance its entrepreneurial spirit with the need to work within a defined operating environment.
