 Because Soudal is continuing its growth, major investments in the production facilities in Turnhout (Belgium) were announced at the end of 2014.
The first stage of this investment plan for 2015, estimated at 35 million Euro, is currently in progress.
At this moment a brand new parking lot with room for 250 cars has been created next to the office complex at the company’s headquarters. This will meet the demand resulting from the continuous workforce growth in Turnhout. The previous parking, next to the main factory halls, will be used as space for creating an additional production unit to facilitate increase in output.
Plant II, Soudal’s second production site in Turnhout is expanding to create space for another production line of PU foams. Next to plant II a new production site is nearing its final stages. The brand new plant will be used for a number of specific productions for e.g. adhesives and sealants.
These investments will allow Soudal to meet the growing demand of its customers worldwide for the production of high quality sealants, adhesives and construction foams for which the company is known. Since the inauguration of the state of the art R&D center in 2011, Soudal is able to increase its focus on specific demands from the construction industry.
Soudal wants to continue in its the path of developing durable and technologically and advanced products for industrial applications and construction. The current factory extensions are required for these technologies. The total investments of Soudal in 2015 are estimated at 35 million euros. Currently more than 2,200 employees in 50 countries work for the Soudal group.
