In the past 50 years, Soudal has grown enormously.

Courage in business is the core value for Vic Swerts. A world map makes it all clear. After 50 years of hard work, Soudal has become a multinational. Currently the company is active on all continents, with 69 branches, of which 20 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.
