history

Sourein Ohanian founded SOEX Textil- und Autohandels-GmbH in Erwitte, North Rhine-Westphalia, in 1977, thereby laying the foundation for today's SOEX GROUP. The company moved to Bad Oldesloe in 1982. In the following ten years the company expanded its trade to the markets of Europe, South America and the Middle East and concentrated the business on the used textiles division. In 1993 SOEX took over EFIBA - a company in the collection of used textiles.

In 1997, the foundation stone was laid for its own sorting plant, SOEX-Sortierbetriebsgesellschaft mbH, in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. In the following year, the Wolfen sorting plant was put into operation with around 150 employees. In 1999, the in-house recycling facility was inaugurated. Since the third shift was introduced in 2004, almost 700 employees have been working in the SOEX sorting and recycling plant in Wolfen.

As planned, Nerses Ohanian, the last family member, withdrew from the active business life of the SOEX GROUP in 2016 and sold his shares in the company.
