About the Soudal Group

Soudal is the largest independent European manufacturer of sealants, adhesives and polyurethane foam. The company was founded in 1966 by Vic Swerts. It is still a family-run company with production facilities fully independent from large multinationals. 

The Soudal Group has 29 production locations in Europe, Asia, South-America and the United States, and has around 4,100 employees in 140 different countries on 6 continents. 

For 58 years, Soudal has offered more than just an effective product. Quality, custom-made and a perfect after-sales service are the essential elements of the success story of Soudal.

Vic Swerts is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Flanders. From a young age he has known that hard work pays off. Even 58 years later his objectives for Soudal remain ambitious.

Vic is of the opinion that employees are the most important assets of a company. Courage in business also means facing the challenge to bring together a unique team of people. Employees, partners and customers are no hollow concepts: people are central to any entrepreneur wanting to realise his ambitions. He sees it as his most important task to support his 'troops', the Soudal employees.

Quote from Vic Swerts:

“You have to surround yourself with good, strong people, who know their job and are better at it than you.”
