    "Since its foundation by Mr. Vic Swerts, Soudal has been one of the most important European manufacturers of silicone sealants. In 1966 Mr Swerts bought a small company based at the Ossenmarkt in Antwerp and specialized in welding materials and the production of polyester putties for the car body repair. After two years the company moved to Turnhout, at the former market of Mr Swerts' parents. Mr Swerts invested heavily in a sophisticated vacuum mixer for the production of polyester putties and high quality silicone sealants. The first year in Turnhout, production output of silicone sealants was 5,000 cartridges. Since then the company has grown from a small family business to the multinational corporation it is today. After some years the location became unsuitable for further expansion. At the Turnhout Industrial Estate a production hall of 2000m2was built in 1976. In 1981, the offices also moved to Turnhout and Soudal NV is founded. From then growth really started to accelerate. The central position of Belgium proved ideal for stepping up export activities. In 1981 the share of export in turnover amounted to 25%. This share increased to 90% in 2004. Soudal expanded to 11,000m2 in 1985. In 1992 Soudal made its first acquisition by buying French competitor Ayrton. This acquisition gave Soudal an important market share in France and a logistical platform to optimize its own distribution and service. Also in 1992, Soudal was one of the first companies in its field to obtain the ISO 9002 approval. Its devotion to quality formed the basis for getting this approval. In spite of the fact that fire safety and protection have always been key issues to Soudal, a fierce blaze broke out in the finished products and polyurethane foam departments in 1993. Less than a year later Soudal was completely up and running again, thanks to tremendous efforts of all staff. The PU foam department was moved to a completely new factory, which started production in 1994. This new plant was designed for state of the art manufacture of PU foam in spray cans."
