Mission We are proud to be chemists who define new territories through our process technology expertise. We are more than just chemistry, we are essential chemistry, making progress possible for generations.

Through constant process innovation, we enhance our ability to deliver solutions that have a meaningful impact on individuals and communities worldwide. This dedication to understanding and optimizing essential chemistry is the compass guiding our work, providing direction and focus at both the individual and collective level. Our products, though invisible, are vital and at the heart of everyday life.

Solvay is founded on innovation, transformative thinking and the ability and willingness to disrupt. A lineage we can trace all the way back to our freethinking founder Ernest Solvay and the pioneering approach that led to his revolutionary discovery in 1863 of a new process for producing soda ash.

Making progress possible has been in our DNA since day one. We reinvent industrial processes to better manufacture the world’s essentials for all, just as we commit to social progress for our people.

We’re always reinventing ourselves, challenging what we think we know to advance science and society. Solvay believes immobility is the enemy of scientific progress. Because innovation cannot flourish in stagnation; it needs movement, intellectual agility, and fresh new ideas to thrive.

Our culture is centered around the pioneering spirit that drove our founder, Ernest Solvay. We are all working with the same essential elements and raw materials, and in accordance with the same fundamental laws of chemistry and physics.

It is an expertise that is not only rooted in our deep knowledge and experience, but also in our willingness to ask questions, push boundaries, and our dedication to achieving the best. Allowing us to drive today’s innovations and enable tomorrow’s great discoveries.

We draw on a rich heritage of scientific excellence, with a vision, purpose and culture built around the ambition to have the greatest possible impact on the world. Creating solutions that enhance everyday life and contribute to a sustainable future.
