DERBIGUM history
75 years of roofing experience
DERBIGUM has over 75 years of roofing experience. The story begins in 1932 with the creation of Imperbel, a family business producing waterproofing mastics, located in Lot, south of Brussels, Belgium.
DERBIGUM made its introduction to the United States roofing market in 1979 when a group of roofing contractors-turned-investors purchased the marketing and manufacturing rights to DERBIGUM in North America. Known then as DERBIGUM America Corporation, DERBIGUM offered American building owners a durable alternative to failing built-up roofs and flimsy EPDM and PVC single ply membranes. Its success and acceptance was immediate.
Today, DERBIGUM is an undisputed industry leader. With 350 employees worldwide, the company is present across the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia. Three production sites – two in Belgium and one in the US – turn out over 161 million square feet of DERBIGUM membranes and 77 million lbs of liquid products annually.
