History

Etablished in 1886

The family de Chaffoy established Sadechaf (Société Anonyme de Chaffoy) in 1886, and started making leather clothes.

Accessories for miners

In the area of Sadechaf, the coal mining industry flourished. The miners discovered the quality of the leather accessories made by Sadechaf and how it helped them in their work. Working together with the miners, special belts and harnesses were made, making it easier for the miners to carry, grasp or put away their tools when traveling through the mines or working at the site. Soon, a wide line-up of accessories used throughout the mines existed. The equipment made by Sadechaf was designed to make the work of the miners easier and more efficient.

UV Curing Technology

In the 1980's, the mining industry in Belgium ceased to exist. Influenced by the rise of the hightech industry in its surroundings, Sadechaf had already started the UV Curing activity which soon became the main business activity. The UV curing equipment installed at the customer's printing machines was designed to improve the printed goods and to make the printing process easier and more efficient, just as the leather equipment did in the past for the miners. The curing activities were expanded from the graphical industry to more applications, including the curing of adhesives. Sadechaf's Hightech Adhesive department was born.

Hightech Adhesive Manufacturer

As customers were in need of improvement of their Adhesive application, new formulae were made. As a result of the continuous growth, the Adhesive activity became a separate business unit. Own manufacturing of Adhesives started, non-UV cured adhesives were added to the line-up.

Today

Today, the Sadechaf UV Curing Technology and Hightech Adhesive Manufacturing exist as two business units of the company. The DNA remains the same: we listen to our customers with the objective to improve their products and manufacturing efficiency.
