Short history: Founded in 1966 by Vic Swerts as a small family business in Antwerp, Belgium, Soudal initially focused on welding materials and polyester putties for car body repair. The company moved to Turnhout in 1968 and expanded rapidly, becoming a multinational corporation. Key milestones include the acquisition of French competitor Ayrton in 1992, the opening of a new fully automated plant in Turnhout in 2023, and recent acquisitions such as the Italian adhesive manufacturer Durante Adesivi in 2024.

The company emphasizes innovation and sustainability, investing heavily in research and development to create durable and environmentally friendly products. Soudal promotes an inclusive work environment where every employee contributes to collective success.

Recent developments: Recent expansions include acquiring Durante Adesivi in Italy (2024) and the silicone factory of Momentive Performance Materials in the Netherlands (2021). In 2023, Soudal opened a new fully automated production plant in Turnhout, further modernizing its manufacturing capabilities. The company also maintains strong community engagement through sports marketing initiatives such as the Lotto Soudal cycling team and the Soudal Classics.
