Semin Group
Semin is a French family-owned industrial group founded 180 years ago, specialising in the manufacture of building materials for the construction industry. Their core business is the manufacture of plasters for plasterers and painters. Innovation is also part of the company's DNA, with the aim of developing technical solutions that make laying easier and save time on building sites.
The group is in a growth phase. In recent years, it has acquired a number of companies, resulting in various subsidiaries within the group. Today, Semin has 8 production sites in France, 4 international production sites and 650 employees. As a result, the need was felt for a solution to improve communication between their various sites.
