IPCOM Acquires French High-temperature Specialist PBI, Strengthening INSULCON’s European Reach

IPCOM (Belgium), Europe’s leading distributor and converter of technical insulation solutions, announces the acquisition of PBI (Porteret Beaulieu Industrie), a renowned French manufacturer of high-temperature insulation, protection and sealing materials. Upon closing, PBI will join the INSULCON Group, IPCOM’s business unit dedicated to high-temperature applications.

Founded in France, PBI has earned a solid reputation for its advanced expertise in millboards and technical textiles. With a skilled team and loyal client base, the company has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to innovation and quality. This acquisition not only reinforces IPCOM’s footprint in the European high-temperature market but also marks INSULCON’s first operational base in France.

“We are proud to welcome PBI into the IPCOM and INSULCON family,” said Patrick Noppen, CEO of INSULCON. “This strategic acquisition enhances our capabilities and extends our reach into the French market. PBI’s technical excellence and customer-first mindset align perfectly with our mission. We welcome all the PBI employees and customers and hope that we can establish a long and fruitful relationship.” Luc Nicolas, Managing Director of PBI, added: “Becoming part of IPCOM and INSULCON opens new opportunities for our people and our customers. We look forward to continuing our journey with the same focus on quality and service—now with the backing of a powerful European group.”
