What SOPREMA does

SOPREMA Iberia SLU is the Spanish and Portuguese operating subsidiary of the SOPREMA Group, a privately-held multinational headquartered in Strasbourg, France. Founded in 1908, the Iberia entity is based in Castellbisbal, Barcelona, and operates as a multi-brand manufacturer and distributor of construction envelope solutions spanning three core domains: waterproofing (bituminous, synthetic PVC/TPO, and liquid-applied membranes), thermal insulation (XPS, EPS, PIR, reflective, wood fiber, cellulose), and acoustic insulation (the TECSOUND high-density viscoelastic membrane family, decorative absorbers, and floating-floor systems). The portfolio is organized around registered sub-brands including TECSOUND, FLAGON, SOPREMAPOOL, Soprasolar (PV mounting), Sopranature (green roofs), SKYWATER (rainwater management), GECOL (mortars), and Univercell (cellulose insulation), with a Sopracademy training platform, BIM object library, and mobile apps supporting the specification workflow.

The company runs a sales-led, specification-driven go-to-market targeting architects, engineers, contractors, and distributors in the Iberian Peninsula. Revenue is generated through B2B product sales via direct field sales, an authorized regional distribution network in Spain and Portugal, and quote-based pricing (no public list prices). End-customer use cases span residential, industrial and logistics, civil engineering, and pool construction, with named reference projects including Hotel Seventy Barcelona, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, PortAventura, and the Velódromo Anoeta. The customer base is fragmented across many construction projects, with no visible single-customer concentration. The company is actively investing in product innovation (multiple 2025 launches including a 0%-cement GECOL rebrand, sustainable packaging, and new acoustic and cool-roof products) and sustainability positioning aligned with EU construction-product regulation trends.
