Saluc

What Saluc does

Saluc SA is a Belgian specialty manufacturer of precision spherical products, founded in 1923 and headquartered in Callenelle (Péruwelz), Belgium. The company operates a 101-250 employee single-site manufacturing operation that produces high-quality balls for billiards, bowling, and industrial applications. Its commercial identity spans two principal sub-brands: Aramith, which markets premium billiard balls, bowling balls, and the Fusiontables gaming table line; and Preciball, which markets precision balls including trackballs and semi-finished ball products for industrial and OEM customers.

The core product platform is built around phenolic resin billiard ball manufacturing, a specialized process Saluc has refined over a century and which underpins the Aramith brand's position as the dominant billiard ball supplier in professional and tournament play. Adjacent product lines leverage the same spherical manufacturing capability: Aramith bowling balls extend into the bowling market, Fusiontables extends into game table equipment, and the Preciball sub-brand serves industrial and OEM customers with precision balls, trackballs, and semi-finished products requiring further processing or customization.

Saluc operates a B2B manufacturing and wholesale distribution model, selling internationally through its sub-brand product lines into both consumer recreational channels (pool halls, bowling centers, retailers, federations) and industrial/commercial channels (OEMs and specialty manufacturers). The company is privately held, has no public listing, and reports no parent company in the available data. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company's marketing footprint is minimal — its website is essentially a product and brand portal with no disclosed digital sales motion or partnership ecosystem.
