As of July 1, 2026, the EXSTO Group continues its transformation with the integration of Sterne into EXSTO SAS. This milestone completes the consolidation of the Group's French entities and further strengthens the consistency of its organization in support of its customers, partners, and long-term growth ambitions.
A new milstone in building the EXSTO Group
Following the integration of EXSTO Thermoplastics and Chavand Équipements into EXSTO SAS on January 1, 2026, the addition of Sterne marks another significant step in the Group's organization in France.
This evolution brings together the Group's French expertise within a clearer and more consistent organization while preserving the know-how, skills, and specific strengths that make each site unique.
Beyond the legal simplification, this milestone supports a broader ambition: building an industrial group with a clearer organization, more efficient operations, and a more coherent market offering.
Four cross-functional businesses across the Group
This new structure also aims to give greater visibility to EXSTO's different Business units and market offerings.
Today, the Group organizes its development around four global cross-functional Businesses:
These Businesses are not limited to a single legal entity or country. They leverage the Group's entire international footprint, bringing together teams, expertise, and industrial capabilities across France, Italy, Brazil, and the United States.
This organization enables EXSTO to better address the specific needs of each market while leveraging the complementary expertise developed across the Group in polyurethane, silicone, rubber, and thermoplastics.
Perfecting Performance: enhancing reliability in critical applications
Through this evolution, EXSTO reaffirms its positioning: supporting customers in the design and manufacture of elastomer and technical polymer solutions for demanding applications.
At EXSTO, performance is measured where it matters most: in real-life operation. It means improving application reliability, extending equipment lifetime, securing critical devices, and increasing process continuity.
This is the very meaning of our signature, Perfecting Performance: combining advanced material expertise, industrial know-how, and close customer collaboration to improve the performance, reliability, and durability of critical applications.
An ambitious, creative, connected, agile, impact-driven and people-centered organization
This organizational milestone is part of a broader transformation strategy. EXSTO is progressively building an organization capable of supporting its growth ambitions in France and internationally, around five key development pillars.
- An ambitious organization, driven by a strong determination to strengthen its position in strategic markets by leveraging its expertise, Businesses, and international presence.
- A creative organization, working alongside customers to develop solutions tailored to their technical, industrial, and market challenges.
- A connected organization, strengthening synergies between sites, countries, and Businesses while continuing to develop the Group's information systems to foster smoother collaboration, greater efficiency, and improved decision-making.
- An agile organization, enabling EXSTO to respond quickly to customer needs, accelerate decision-making, and support projects more effectively in demanding environments.
- An impact-driven organization, built around the Impact project, which structures the Group's CSR strategy and reflects EXSTO's commitment to combining industrial performance, environmental responsibility, and social engagement.
- Finally, a people-centered organization, because EXSTO's greatest strength lies in its people. The Group is committed to continuously developing employees' skills, encouraging knowledge transfer, and strengthening internal training to foster a learning organization where field experience, shared expertise, and individual growth contribute to collective performance.
A Group looking to the future
This new milestone confirms the EXSTO Group's ambition to continue its transformation, strengthen its position in its strategic markets, and double its size over the coming years.
To support this growth trajectory, EXSTO relies on an organization that is clearer, more cross-functional, and more international, capable of leveraging all of its expertise to serve customers across France, Italy, Brazil, and the United States.
This momentum is fully aligned with the Group's positioning: Perfecting Performance. By supporting demanding applications, EXSTO remains committed to delivering reliable, durable, and high-performance technical solutions tailored to its customers' evolving challenges.
It also reflects the Group's determination to build an organization that is ambitious, connected, agile, impact-driven, and people-centered, capable of sustainably supporting its development while remaining true to the values that define its strength: the expertise of its teams, close customer relationships, the complementarity of its know-how, and a shared commitment to performance.
We would like to thank all our customers, suppliers, and partners for their continued trust, and we look forward to pursuing this journey of growth, transformation, and innovation together.
