Unique on the market, our offer allows us to propose solutions with high technical added value to our industrial customers.

Serving a wide variety of markets

The specialty chemicals we distribute have been selected for their very high quality standards. As undisputed references in each of their market segments, they enable us to meet the specific needs of industrialists and the most complex specifications. Every day, we work with major players in the aeronautics, automotive, railway, electronics, energy and food industries. But we are just as committed to serving start-ups and innovative project leaders with the same high standards, who come to us for tailor-made solutions and expert advice.

Be part of a long-term strategy

Founded in 1976, Samaro belongs to a family group based in Lyon. This capital structure is the basis for a company strategy that is resolutely long-term. Each year, our profits are reinvested to finance our growth and consolidate the future of the company and its employees.

A long-term vision shared and supported by our teams: attached to Samaro’s values, committed to their customers and partners, with a high level of expertise, they are committed to offering a quality service, guaranteeing the company’s long-term future.

A commitment illustrated by our signature: “We are proud to support your success.»

Offering tailor-made support

Since its creation, Samaro has sought to build itself around strong values: technical expertise, high standards, transparency and creativity, which are essential for innovation. But also, a great mastery of the market and its players.
Our experience, our relational and geographical proximity with our customers are all assets to accompany them in their industrial problems. Our customer service is exemplary. Every day, our teams work hard to meet the needs of our customers as closely as possible, by providing them with a perfectly adapted product. And if it does not exist in our partners’ ranges, by offering to adapt it in a customised formulation or packaging.

Present in France and beyond

With the desire to be as close as possible to our customers, we have 3 sites in France: in Beynost, near Lyon, where our head office is located, in Nantes and in the Île-de-France region. From these logistics centres, we are able to deliver, with a very high level of responsiveness, to our customers throughout France, but also in 18 countries in Africa and North Africa.

As a founding member of the European grouping DGE (Distributors Group Europe) created in 1996, Samaro benefits from the power of a structure established in 27 countries in Europe. This Europe-wide presence allows each member to have access to shared resources in terms of purchasing, logistics, technical support and research laboratories.

Samaro, figures that speak volumes

A constant concern for quality

At Samaro, we are convinced that quality is a team sport! More than a standard or an official certificate, it is the result of everyone’s commitment to continuous improvement. It is at the heart of our strategy: without it, nothing is possible. It is a daily requirement at all levels of the company: from the logistics warehouses to relations with our partner brands, from the technical and commercial departments to the health and safety of our teams.

Our quality approach is regularly monitored by third party organisations. Samaro is ISO 9001 certified, and since 2018, EN 9120 certified, which is essential to meet the requirements of the aeronautical industry. A recognition that testifies to Samaro’s excellence… and that all our customers benefit from.
