Under the brands Promat and Siniat, the company supplies specialist tradespeople, distributors and the construction industry with a broad range of high-quality building materials for interior finishing and structural fire protection.

Services & Product Range

The product portfolio of Etex Building Performance GmbH focuses on two core areas under the brands Promat and Siniat. The Promat brand stands out particularly for fire protection solutions and technical insulation materials in building construction, while Siniat offers gypsum boards and drywall systems for interior finishing. The range includes gypsum boards in various designs, including standard, moisture-resistant and fire-resistant boards, as well as metal profiles, insulation materials and system-specific accessories. As a manufacturer, the company produces according to defined quality standards and provides technical documentation and processing guidelines for professional application. The products are used for commercial construction projects, residential construction and renovation projects. Fire-resistant boards and systems for multi-storey residential buildings, office buildings and industrial buildings are of particular importance, where higher requirements for fire resistance and smoke protection apply. Distribution takes place primarily through building material wholesalers and specialized specialist retailers, who in turn supply tradespeople and executing companies. Technical advice on system solutions, fire protection requirements and building physics issues are part of the scope of services, as is the provision of planning documents for architects and specialist planners. Training for processors on specific product systems and processing techniques supplement the offering within the scope of technical customer support.

Location Ratingen & Region

Ratingen is located in western North Rhine-Westphalia, immediately northeast of Düsseldorf, and benefits from excellent transport connections. The proximity to motorway A52 as well as connections to A3 and A44 enable efficient logistics to the entire Rhine-Ruhr region and beyond. This central location makes Ratingen an attractive site for building material manufacturers and distributors who serve both urban conurbations and rural areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. The region is characterised by high construction activity, both in the commercial sector and in residential construction. The cities of Düsseldorf, Essen, Duisburg and Dortmund generate continuous demand for drywall materials for new construction projects, renovations and modifications to existing buildings. Typical customers of drywall and gypsum products are finishing and stucco contractors, painting contractors, general contractors in building construction and developers for residential and commercial projects. The dense infrastructure in the region enables short delivery routes to construction sites throughout the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region. The connection to Düsseldorf Rhine port and the national rail network for material transport is also important. Proximity to airport expansion, trade fair projects and large-scale business parks creates additional demand for high-quality building materials with defined technical properties.
