The Soudal Group is the largest independent European manufacturer of sealants, adhesives and polyurethane foams for professional and private users.

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.
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.
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.
From 2023 onwards, the Soudal-Quick Step 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 Soudal Quick-Step 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, Soudal Quick-Step is a huge platform for building Soudal marketing actions.
Besides of Soudal Quick-Step, Soudal also sponsors KVC Westerlo (football), Soudal Classics (cyclocross) and Soudal Open (Golf – Belgian Open).
