Diatex Opens 10% Capital to Bpifrance and BNP Paribas to Fund Composites Expansion

Diatex has sold a 10% stake to Bpifrance and BNP Paribas Développement in May 2026 to finance acquisitions and international growth, as composites now represent 60% of its business. The French group, which employs around 100 people and exports to 58 countries, integrates weaving at TDM and cutting at Cipodec, using heated knives to seal synthetic textile edges and prevent fraying. Diatex is also developing reusable silicone- and rubber-based vacuum bagging solutions to reduce consumable waste and replace certain fluorinated materials.
