About SOPREMA 

Building. Protecting. Sustaining.

In 1908, Charles Geisen founded “Les Usines Alsaciennes d’Émulsions” in Strasbourg, France for the development and production of waterproofing liquids and pastes. Charles discovered a revolutionary material that was impermeable, yet flexible and easy to apply: canvas dipped in hot bitumen.  As the finished product resembled the skin of a wooly mammoth, it was called the “MAMMOUTH“ waterproofing membrane. Today, SOPREMA is owned and operated by Charles Geisen’s great grandson, Pierre-Etienne Bindschedler, and has over 100 manufacturing plants worldwide, providing complete solutions for building envelope waterproofing. SOPREMA continues to operate with core values of integrity, respect, commitment to excellence, and a focus on sustainable product development to minimize our impact on the environment.
