Solvay SA is a Belgium-based chemical company that develops and manufactures essential materials and chemical products for industrial and consumer applications. Following the 2023 separation of its specialty businesses into Syensqo, Solvay focuses on essential chemistry and serves customers in sectors such as construction, consumer goods, food, healthcare, agriculture, automotive, and other industrial markets.
Its products include soda ash and sodium bicarbonate, which are used in glassmaking, detergents, chemicals, food, and healthcare; hydrogen peroxide and related peroxide-based solutions; and precipitated silica used in applications such as tires, footwear, and industrial products. Solvay also provides specialty chemical solutions, including materials and services designed to support water treatment, mining, and other industrial processes.
Solvay traces its origins to 1863, when Ernest and Alfred Solvay developed an industrial process for producing soda ash. The company has since expanded into a global chemical group with operations and customers across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Philippe Kehren serves as Solvay’s chief executive officer.
