In 2025, the Neuburg-based car care specialist SONAX celebrated its 75th anniversary. The first products under the SONAX brand name hit the market in 1950. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with premium car care products like no other. SONAX is currently shaping the next chapter of its success story with pioneering expansion activities, young talents across all business areas, and a continuously evolving brand philosophy.
"We are very proud of the successful history of our corporate group, which my great-grandfather founded and which my grandfather and father developed further with creativity and dedication. However, our focus is clearly on the future – on the fans and customers of today and tomorrow," emphasizes Manfred Hoffmann, managing partner of SONAX GmbH. "The foundations for the future have been laid. With our expertise, modern brand presence, and high-performance infrastructure in research, development, production, and logistics, we are well-positioned for continued competitiveness and growth in the years ahead."
The Engine of Success: Expertise and Innovative Products
The driving force behind SONAX’s success is the comprehensive expertise that powers its robust product portfolio. This includes unique innovations in paint care, manual interior and exterior vehicle cleaning, winter products, and the "Bike" and "Caravan" product lines. Additionally, SONAX offers a proven range of products for commercial vehicle care, car wash applications, professional detailing services, and various industrial uses, making it one of the most versatile umbrella brands in the market today.
