In 2023, Solvay celebrates its 160th anniversary at a pivotal moment, as the Group gave birth to two new companies. Celebrating our heritage and passing on our legacy gave even more meaning to this transition.
Industry is a perpetual struggle. Those who slumber soon disappear. Those who relentlessly fight with trust and rationality outshine others.
Indeed, it took a lot of fighting spirit, trust, and ingenuity to live Solvay’s purpose and remain relevant all along the journey. The company has continuously reinvented itself, driven by a relentless passion for human progress and business performance. We have navigated geopolitical crises, economic downturns, and technological shifts with resilience, thanks to our long-term vision and ability to act with agility when needed. Throughout, we have preserved our core values and family spirit, while constantly adapting our strategy, organization, and culture to seize new opportunities and address emerging challenges.
The creation of two new champions kicked off a new chapter inspired and enabled by a 160-year journey that brought together people and activities from various companies and geographies.
