- Reducing CO₂ emissions
We develop low-energy technologies that enable more efficient application, with fewer losses and less impact. (Nanobell, GTE)
- Reduction of VOCs and better waste management
We are taking action on several levels to limit solvent emissions and optimize the consumption of paint and solvents. (Cyclomix® Evo)
- A circular economy approach
We design our products to last longer, be repairable, and easy to maintain. We are also evolving our ranges to incorporate these principles from the design stage. (Powder range, repairable equipment).

A word from our CEO
At Sames, we go beyond simply gluing, protecting and improving materials. We bring people together, protect the environment and beautify our world.
Our acronym Sames stands for "Simply Applying Most Efficient Solutions", reflecting our commitment to combining performance and respect for the environment.

As part of the fourth industrial revolution, we support the transformation of our customers' production processes.
Our "human touch", our passion for innovation and our culture of excellence enable us to meet daily challenges.
Let's work together for a more sustainable future.
