Ernest Solvay

The passion for progress

In 1861 Ernest SOLVAY, a man with a passion for science, research, and innovation, developed a revolutionary process for the manufacture of anhydrous sodium carbonate.

Today, the business which bears his name is a world-wide chemical and pharmaceutical group. In each country where it is present, the SOLVAY Group has found ways of adopting the local culture without departing from the ethic which inspired its founder : humanism, progress and quality.

The passion of progress is the clear desire to grow together, in harmony with all our partners, with the same concern for quality, service and professionalism.
