All Gougeon brands at Directeck

The Gougeon Brothers Group, founded in the 1960s in the United States, owns a number of well-known brands in the marine industry, starting with West System resins, but also Entropy and Pro-Set. It also has the Pro-Vac brand for elements and consumables related to vacuum lamination. The American manufacturer signed an exclusive agreement at the end of 2022 with the company Directeck, which was already distributing it in France, to sell its products to professionals in France. Until now, the brand was also distributed by Soromap.
