After successfully leading the expansion of Map Yachting, Ken Marcovich, the elder son of the Marcovich family, is now stepping into the role of CEO at Sicomin.

With this transition, Philippe - who will still oversee Sicomin as President of the company - will have more time to focus on his other ventures ACCWING and MAXCORE in collaboration with Sam Marcovich, Ken’s younger brother. These two projects will be showcased at JEC World 2025. 

Ken, who has a strong background in sustainable development, environmental sciences, and sustainable procurement, has always been deeply connected to Sicomin’s mission from a young age. His commitment to bio-sourced products has been a key focus throughout his career.

Ken is fortunate to continue receiving his father’s unwavering support in the years ahead, and with great enthusiasm, he looks forward to advancing the company’s legacy and its commitment to sustainability.

“I am honored to step into this role to continue building on the legacy created by my father,” said Ken Marcovich. “Sicomin is uniquely positioned to drive innovation and meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance epoxy resin and composite solutions. I look forward to working with our talented team to accelerate our growth and serve our customers worldwide.”

Sicomin will exhibit at JEC World 2025 and invites attendees to join and celebrate its new chapter.
