Vebro Polymers: resin floors, big EPD opportunity

Who they are

Vebro Polymers is a UK‑founded manufacturer of resin flooring materials with operations in Europe and Asia. They focus on specification‑grade systems for factories, food and beverage plants, data centers, car parks, and commercial spaces.

What they sell (in plain English)

The portfolio spans about ten system families and dozens of SKUs. Highlights include epoxy and polyurethane coatings (vebrores), electrostatic‑dissipative systems (vebrostatic), rapid‑cure MMA floors (vebrospeed), polyurethane concrete for hygienic and thermal shock areas (vebrocrete PF), decorative comfort PU (vebroflex), cementitious underlayments and screeds (vebroscreed), car park deck waterproofing (vebrodeck), in‑situ resin terrazzo, resin‑bound external surfaces, and sports floors. See their solutions overview and technical library for the breadth of systems (Vebro Polymers, Solutions).

EPD status today

As of December 8, 2025, we couldn’t find any publicly posted, third‑party verified product‑specific EPDs for Vebro Polymers on their site or major operator registries. What is visible are low‑VOC claims and AgBB‑tested systems plus a packaging‑recycling initiative, which are positive health and circularity signals but different from EPDs (Low Emissions Coatings and Packaging Recycling).

Why this matters for specs

EPDs remain a fast path to de‑risking specification when owners and designers track embodied carbon or pursue LEED v5. LEED v5 was ratified by USGBC members on March 28, 2025 and continues to emphasize product transparency and embodied carbon performance in the materials toolkit (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED v5). When an otherwise‑qualified floor lacks a product‑specific, third‑party EPD, design teams often default to a competitor that has one to avoid conservative modeling penalties.

Likely bestseller without an EPD, and ready‑made alternatives

Polyurethane concrete flooring is a core Vebro offer for food and beverage and heavy industrial spaces (vebrocrete PF). We couldn’t locate a public EPD for it. Specifiers can quickly find like‑for‑like systems with current declarations. Two examples:

• Sika Ucrete MF and Ucrete MT have valid EN 15804 EPDs with 2025 publication and 2030 validity (EPD International, 2025) (Sika Ucrete MF EPD, Sika Ucrete MT EPD).
• Mapei Mapefloor CPU+/MF, a polyurethane‑cement self‑smoother used in similar hygienic, thermal‑shock settings, has a 2024 EPD valid through 2029 (EPD International, 2024) (Mapefloor CPU+/MF EPD).

In resin coatings and deck systems, Flowcrete (Tremco CPG) lists group EPDs through IBU that remain within validity windows for epoxy and polyurethane formulations (IBU via NBS Source, 2022 or 2027 expiry) (Flowcrete epoxy group EPD, Flowcrete polyurethane group EPD).

Where Vebro is strong

• Breadth of systems for specific environments, from ESD rooms to multi‑storey car parks.
• Low‑VOC and AgBB‑tested formulations that make indoor air quality conversations easier with clients.

Where the EPD gap shows up

• Food and beverage upgrades. Hygienic floors are often pre‑qualified by corporate standards that increasingly ask for EPDs to support carbon reporting.
• Data centers, labs, and pharma. These sectors use structured material submittals, and EPDs have become familiar attachments rather than exceptions.
• Public and higher‑ed projects. More owners are adopting LEED v5 pathways or internal embodied‑carbon policies that explicitly call for third‑party EPDs (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED v5).

The competitive set Vebro meets most often

• Sika (Ucrete and Sikafloor systems with multiple EN 15804 EPDs) (EPD International, 2025).
• Mapei (Mapefloor CPU+ series with current EPDs) (EPD International, 2024).
• Flowcrete, a Tremco CPG brand (group EPDs through IBU covering epoxy and PU families) (IBU via NBS Source, 2022 or 2027 expiry).
• Stonhard and Sherwin‑Williams in resinous coatings and MMA. Some lines may not carry EPDs, yet they often compete in the same rooms.

A practical playbook to close the gap quickly

1. Prioritize three SKUs that win the most bids. Polyurethane concrete for food, a rapid‑return MMA system for refurbishments, and a car‑park deck build are common revenue leaders.
2. Pick the dominant rulebook. For resin flooring and technical‑chemical products in Europe, EN 15804 and the associated Part B or c‑PCRs are the norm on the EPDs cited above (EPD International, 2024 and 2025).
3. Choose the operator aligned to target markets. IBU and EPD International are both widely recognized by European specifiers, and US teams are familiar with them too (IBU via NBS Source, 2022 or 2027 expiry).
4. Streamline data collection. Lock a single 12‑month reference period, map plant utilities and material inputs to BOMs, then gather line‑specific waste and yield. For brand‑new lines, a prospective EPD can start with a minimum data window and be trued up after a year.
5. Launch in waves. Publish system‑level EPDs for the first three families, then expand to variants that differ meaningfully in resin chemistry or build‑up. You don’t need every tint on day one.

What this means for sales and specification

Right now, Vebro looks like a multi‑category resin specialist without public EPD coverage. That leaves easy headroom for competitors to sidestep them on projects that score materials or require transparent carbon accounting. One or two mid‑sized wins often repay the effort of getting the first EPD across the line, so waiting risks being invisibile on shortlists that quietly filter for declarations.
