Production in figures

The 5 production locations in Belgium, Poland, China, Russia and Slovenia have an annual production of 147 million cans of PU Foam. If all these cans were to be placed in a row, it would bridge the distance between the earth to the moon and back 5 times over!
The Soudal Group also produces 333 million units of sealants (silicones, acrylates, hybrid polymers, etc.) annually, which makes it the world's 3rd largest producers of sealants. This is covered by 11 production locations in Belgium, Slovenia, Poland, the USA, Chile, Turkey, India, China, Latvia and South-Korea. All these packages laid end to end would circle the earth.
The hundreds of types of adhesives are manufactured on 6 locations in Belgium, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia and Italy.
Number of employees
At the end of 2025, the Soudal Group employed 4800 people. This amount has sharply increased over the past few years due to its organic growth and acquisitions.
The ever-increasing internationalisation of Soudal is emphasised by the fact that 69% of its employees are working outside Belgium. Clearly, however, the company is still very strongly anchored in the Benelux in general and in Turnhout in particular.
Soudal around the world
The Soudal Group has 33 production locations on 6 continents and 82 worldwide sales offices, and exports to more than 140 countries.
In the past 59 years, Soudal has grown enormously. Methods, market approach and technologies have changed in a revolutionary way, but Soudal holds to the core values, which have made the company great: the customer is key, personal involvement and stamina. Courage in business is the core value for Vic Swerts.
A world map makes it all clear. After 59 years of hard work, Soudal has become a multinational. Currently the company is active on all continents, with 82 branches and 33 production sites. This enormous increase in scale is a result of many worldwide initiatives and acquisitions. Competitors and knowledge were acquired to discover new markets outside Belgium. So far, this strategy has been very successful and has resulted in the current Soudal Group, which employs around 4,800 people.
