In other words, a partnership which makes things better for all of us and the world.

1933: the start-up

Our history begins in 1933, with a small traditional company in chemical products. It was named SABA, a combination of the first two letters of the names of the founders Salm and Baruch.

The 1960s: sealants are booming

The reconstruction of large construction volumes called for advanced products that were easy to apply. That led SABA to develop special sealants for the glazing market and later for broad application in the construction industry.

The 1990s: SABA introduces water-based adhesives

In order to meet the growing demand for environment-friendly products, SABA became the first company in the world to introduce a water-based adhesive that bonds instantly. Those properties were immediately embraced by the foam processing industry.

Now: leaders in specialized applications

SABA has focused its activities on three main markets: Foam, Transportation and Construction.

We invest in innovations and relationships

We do not rest on our laurels, but prioritize responses to new demands and requirements from the market. We spend more than 10% of our total budget on R&D. However, we cannot and do not do it alone. Naturally, we listen closely to signals from our customers, and work with universities, research and knowledge institutes. Results speak for themselves: every one of our products are State of the Art in the market. SABA also goes far beyond that! We share ideas on the right application with the best application equipment. We train employees who work with our products and give detailed explanations on their use. This gets us further in terms of efficiency, durability and safety. With SABA, teamwork is the core value of what we do.
