Our Expertise

Founded in 1979, with the ambition to counter the oil companies’ monopoly on fuel, SIPLEC soon became a prominent player in the French market.

Subsequently, the company branched out into new business sectors in response to ever-changing needs, that includes non-food consumer goods. The company extended its energy know-how to many fields of services for both individuals and companies.
