Our brand
-
Proprietary technology:
For the S&P project to be strong and consolidated over time, it was necessary that it be based on creativity and providing distinctive products, avoiding imitation of the competition. Over the company’s history, S&P has registered 182 patents, more than 59 industrial models and 4 utility models.
-
Internationalisation and Growth:
It was clear that in order to ensure the company’s future we had to open up to the world and to enter new, highly competitive markets. This has led us to carry out on-going improvements to our products. S&P is currently a world leader in ventilation, with production centres in Europe, America and Asia. A powerful distribution structure, through subsidiaries and exclusive distributors, allows S&P to be present in all world markets with both products and service.
-
Self-financing:
One of the strengths of S&P has been our constant growth and policy of reinvesting profits in on-going technological improvements, both in research and production and in marketing. This has allowed S&P to be a self-financed company with complete independence in our decision-making process.
Soler & Palau was founded in 1951 by Eduard Soler and Josep Palau. In the early years, we worked hard, with great determination, to take Soler & Palau Ventilation Group beyond our borders and give it a global dimension. We are proud to have taken this path with all of the people that participate and have participated in this project.
Our corporate strategy defines both how we aim to position the company on the market and the path we follow to achieve this goal, without compromising the values of our corporate culture. Based on the pillars of Teamwork, Proximity and Respect for personal diversity, we have positioned the company on an international level, while at the same time applying local policies under the umbrella of our global philosophy.
The strength of our business results has given us financial independence with regard to funding. This position allows us to continue our investment across all areas of the business and to become pioneers in research, development and innovation. We anticipate the needs of the market by incorporating new ventilation products and solutions into our catalogue based on air-movement efficiency and energy savings.
Our highly motivated, skilled and honest workforce focuses its efforts on giving our clients only the highest standards of product quality and service.
We continually strive to preserve our values and improve training and knowledge, with the aim of strengthening our position of leadership in the ventilation market and our relationship with clients and partners.
Our global philosophy and local policies are some of the keys to our success. Because nobody knows local markets better than the professionals that have direct contact with them.
