Paris, February 18, 2026 – EURENCO, the European leader in energetic materials and a chemist for the EU’s Defense Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB), announces the signing of an inaugural syndicated loan of €300 million.

- French banks: CIC, Société Générale, LCL, BNP Paribas, Banque Palatine, Arkéa Banque, Banque Populaire Méditerranée, Caisse d’Epargne CEPAC, with significant support from the sovereign banks Bpifrance and La Banque Postale

This historic financing enables the Group to embark on the first phase of a massive program to expand its industrial capacity in Europe.

With the support of this European banking pool, we are reaching a major industrial milestone that will consolidate our position as European leader and guarantee Europe’s strategic autonomy,” said Thierry FRANCOU, CEO of the EURENCO Group.
