Spearheading performance

...in products and processes

Achieving higher performance and increased quality is a major challenge in modern manufacturing. Successful companies combine creativity with advanced new materials while, making the most of innovative materials demands far-reaching co-operation between the supplier and the customer.

Precipitated Calcium Carbonates (PCC) are increasingly being used to push performance to higher levels and open up new product and application areas. Solvay has been producing PCC under the trade name SOCAL® in production sites in continental Europe for more than 80 years.

In March 1999, the global strategy for growth through innovation and competitiveness led us to extend our product range and customer service capability by acquiring the WINNOFIL® PCC product range and the manufacturing plant at Lostock in the United Kingdom.

SOCAL® and WINNOFIL® comprise the full range of fine and ultra-fine qualities. We are here to partner you in all your applications.
