The group has 19 production branches on 5 continents, sales offices in 44 different countries and employs around 3,100 people worldwide. A long-term vision for innovation – with substantial investment in R&D – and adaptations to local market requirements have resulted in the success of the Soudal Group.

INNOVATION

The research in and development of new products, product technologies and production methods is in our genes. A team of highly qualified researchers, engineers and technicians is continuously working on the development of new products and applications adapted to the specific requirements of customers in various countries. This has resulted in a number of pioneering innovative products, which have helped to strengthen the market position of Soudal. Innovation is, therefore, the driver for organic growth at the Soudal Group.

FACTS & FIGURES

A consolidated turnover of €835 million in 2018; 350 million sealant and polyurethane foam units produced in 19 production branches; around 3,100 employees worldwide; almost €59 million in investment in 2018: those are the impressive facts and figures of the Soudal Group.

OUR ACTIVITIES

The Soudal Group manufactures products for its own brands and private labels covering 7 groups: silicones and other sealants, polyurethane foams, adhesives, hybrid polymers, technical aerosols and chemical building products. With its own brands the Soudal Group is focusing on 3 market segments: the construction, industrial and retail sectors.

SUSTAINABILITY

The Soudal Group is leading the way in the development of products for sustainable construction, which are safe for people and the environment. As a result of the most modern production technology, energy, water usage, and residual waste is limited. It is obvious that the welfare of employees is another priority.

SPONSORING

From 2015 until 2020, the Lotto Soudal team is representing Soudal at all large international cycling competitions and provides publicity in 190 countries where cycling makes it into the media (especially the Tour de France). The Lotto Soudal investment increases our brand awareness and company image. The basic values propagated by Soudal – hard work, perseverance and being better than your competitors – can also be found in cycling, leading to a positive image transfer to the Soudal brand. And most importantly, Lotto Soudal is a huge platform for building Soudal marketing actions.

Besides of Lotto Soudal, Soudal also sponsors KVC Westerlo (football) and Soudal Classics (cyclocross).
