What Soundcoat does

Soundcoat, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Deer Park, New York, is a US-based manufacturer of engineered noise, vibration, and thermal-acoustic control materials operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Belgium's Recticel Group. The company designs and produces absorption foams (Soundfoam and Soundfiber families), barrier products (Soundmat), viscoelastic damping materials (DYAD, Soundfoil), foam sealing products, specialty adhesives, and protective facings (Kapton, Nomex, Tedlar), plus the integrated SOLAS product line (Grids, Cubes, Panels) for reverberation control. Proprietary processes include Uniseal edge sealing, hydrophobation, Cabfoam finishing, and the patent-pending SOLAS Grids design. The portfolio is supported by engineering services delivered through the proprietary Soundcoat 360 Solution methodology, advanced acoustic lab services, and testing capabilities including hemi-anechoic chamber and reverberation room measurements at the renovated Deer Park facility.

The company serves OEMs and industrial customers across six primary verticals: Aerospace & Aviation (Boeing, NASA Artemis II, Voyager-heritage DYAD material), Heavy Duty Vehicles (Caterpillar, Paccar), Industrial Equipment (HVAC, compressed air, automation), Electronic Equipment & Energy Infrastructure (data centers, semiconductor OEMs like PacBio, EV charging), Building & Commercial Construction, and Medical Equipment (Hydrafacial). Manufacturing is performed at ISO 9001:2015-registered facilities in Deer Park, NY and Irvine, CA (relocating to Santa Ana by July 2026), with the Irvine/Santa Ana site also holding AS9100:2016 aerospace certification and ITAR compliance.

Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) hardware sales of acoustic materials in sheets, rolls, buns, and custom-molded configurations, and (2) professional services revenue from acoustic testing, predictive modeling, facility audits using sound cameras and sound intensity meters, and validation consulting. The go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales direct to manufacturers, supplemented by trained market installation partners for SOLAS products, with a refreshed website and active trade show presence (ACT Expo 2025, planned SEMICON West 2025) supporting demand generation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with products configured to customer specifications. The company has been recognized with the Caterpillar Supplier Excellence Award (two consecutive years), Boeing Premier Bidder Award, and Paccar Supplier Quality Award, placing it in the top 4% of Caterpillar's 27,000+ global suppliers.
