Sonova AG

In 2016, two wood industry leaders - Sonae Indústria and Arauco - came together to form Sonae Arauco, a partnership born from a shared vision: to create inspirational wood-based solutions that would transform how people live and build. This alliance combined decades of expertise from Sonae Indústria (founded in 1959 in Maia, Portugal) with Arauco's global forestry resources, creating one of the world's largest wood-based solutions players. The company emerged from a recognition that wood - the most natural, renewable, and recyclable raw material - held the key to more sustainable construction and design. Today, Sonae Arauco operates 23 industrial and commercial units across 9 countries on two continents, employing approximately 2,600 people from 37 different nationalities. With a production capacity of 3.9 million m³ of wood solutions, the company serves customers in 68 countries through its versatile portfolio spanning Innovus® decorative products, Core & Technical® solutions, and AGEPAN® construction systems. The company's commitment to sustainability runs deep: 100% of wood used comes from sustainable, certified, or controlled sources, and their products retain an average of 3 million tons of CO2 annually. Sonae Arauco isn't just manufacturing wood panels - they're pioneering a circular bioeconomic model, integrating recycled wood into their processes, and leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies including big data and AI to create the factory of the future.

In 1950, Mr. Yutaka Ikeda established a glassblowing company in Omuta City, Japan, planting the seed for what would become the AGI Group. Over seven decades, that family business has grown from a local glassware manufacturer into a global leader in precision chemical processing solutions, remaining under family leadership with Yasu Ikeda, the founder's grandson, now serving as CEO. The company's journey reflects a persistent commitment to craftsmanship and innovation - expanding from Japan to Switzerland, the United States, India, and the United Kingdom through strategic acquisitions that brought together complementary expertise. The AGI Group's expansion into the UK market represents a pivotal chapter in this story, beginning with the establishment of Asahi Glassplant UK Ltd in 2019 and followed by strategic acquisitions of Cambridge Glassblowing Ltd, Glass Solutions, and Syrris - an internationally renowned automated batch and flow systems manufacturer. These moves consolidated AGI UK's position as a center of excellence for scientific glassblowing, flow chemistry, and automation. Today, the company serves some of the world's most vital organizations across pharmaceutical, chemical, automotive, semiconductor, and academic industries, providing engineered glass systems and lab automation solutions that accelerate scientific breakthroughs. Wherever high-quality precision chemical processing solutions are needed, AGI Group offers comprehensive, cutting-edge solutions built on decades of expertise and a values-driven approach centered on innovation, sincerity, and progress.
