Some elements to better understand our history

Passitex^® is a brand created around ten years ago by Baptiste Bioche, who is also the founder of Apronor, the leader in technical textile production. Located in France with an international business, it offers building systems for passive fire protection. Since our company was founded, our activity has evolved and we have extended our range with new products, which were devised and designed by our team

Products to help fight fires, limit the spread of flames, stop the spread of smoke and maintain the stability of structural elements during a fire. And this ability to innovate lies in our extensive research and development activity. We are always mindful of market developments and changes to building systems.
