CHRYSO provides its customers - cement manufacturers, concrete plants, precast manufacturers, and construction companies - with its formulation expertise and knowledge of construction materials. Our ambition: to be a lever for our customers' development Customer service, the number 1 priority Our major asset: production plants close to customers and an international network of technical, logistics and sales experts in order to meet our customers' needs. CHRYSO offers: • an integrated logistics chain • tailor-made solutions; • daily technical support in each country; • field tests and laboratory tests • reliable and effective measurement equipment • many other quality services.

The international R&D centre in Sermaises (south of Paris, France), is the spearhead of this strategy which is also based on: • control over the design and production of our own new generation polymers, • a network of 21 local laboratories which work to meet our customers' needs, • scientific and technical collaboration within the CHRYSO and Materis groups, • customer partnerships and joint developments with our key suppliers, and academic partnerships with universities from around the world. Sustainable development at the heart of our priorities Sustainable development is a management system for the CHRYSO group, which has a double ambition: • to be exemplary in the management of its operations, as much in France as in India, • to make our productions and solutions levers for the green revolution needed in building materials.
