THE SOPREMA GROUP: A HISTORY OF SUCCESS
SOPREMA is confident of its future and proud of its past. The SOPREMA group was founded in 1908 and has remained independent to this day, continuing to grow without sacrificing its personal touch; a vital requirement for maintaining flexibility and creativity. The founder of the SOPREMA Group, Mr Charles Geisen was also the inventor of the Mammoth Membrane, the forerunner of BS747 felts, which paved the way for modern waterproofing membranes. His son, Pierre Geisen, a world expert in roofing technology, invented metal faced membranes in 1933. The current SOPREMA group chairman, Mr Pierre Etienne Bindschedler, is the third generation of the founding family. Under his guidance SOPREMA has established itself as a world leader in the development and manufacture of waterproofing products, roof lights, smoke extractors and roofing ancillaries. Soprema Group has 101 production sites around the world, with 9.720 employees, 17 R&D centres and 22 training centres in 8 countries.
