Solvay is an international industrial Group active in Chemistry. It offers a broad range of products and solutions that contribute to improving quality of life.

The Group is headquartered in Brussels and employs more than 19.000 people in 50 countries. In 2009, its consolidated sales amounted to EUR 8.5 billion.

Solvay decided in 2009 to refocus its activities in order to accelerate the implementation of its sustainable and profitable growth strategy - which led to the sale of its entire pharmaceutical business.

Solvay will reinvest the proceeds in organic and sizeable external growth, focused on long term value creation.
