In 1998, Prodex elastomers wants to propose on the market fully recyclable TPE seals and profiles for small and medium series.
Its founder, Jacques Lavergne, has a long experience in rubbers and elastomers: his technical skills and proximity to customers allow Prodex to grow as new products are developed.
While keeping its flexibility recognized by its first customers, Prodex validates its positioning in the industry by obtaining its ISO 9001 certification in 2004: it is the recognition of the continuous improvement of a company turned towards new markets.
In order to ensure its autonomy and increase its reactivity, Prodex equips itself in 2005 with a die manufacturing workshop entirely in-house, with the acquisition in particular of a numerically controlled electro-erosion cutting machine.
In 2006, Prodex inaugurated its new premises in the Chartres industrial zone, in Gellainville, then expanded the plant in 2009.
In order to respond even more quickly and throughout Europe, Prodex created the online sales site www.profilesmarket.com, in 2013, building up a stock of more than 500 references to dispatch orders received in the afternoon that same morning.
At the same time, export development is carried out by the creation of a dedicated service.
The innovation, which has guided Prodex since the beginning, is rewarded, for the nautical market, with a DAME Award in 2014, at the METS international boat show in Amsterdam, with the patented luminous dock fender.
In 2017, the founder decides to retire and to accompany Cyril Mérand, mechanical engineer, who takes over with a view to continuing this beautiful human adventure.
With a new visual identity, Prodex continues its development and investments, changes ERP in 2018 and registers a patent for a universal groove cover for building and industry.
