Socli: Manufacturer of Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) and Technical Products for Over 150 Years

A Legacy of Excellence in the Heart of the Pyrenees

Socli has been crafting high-quality natural hydraulic lime (NHL) products, mortars, and technical solutions for over 150 years. Nestled in the heart of the Pyrenees, our manufacturing process relies on an exceptional limestone, renowned for its purity and performance. This unique resource enables us to produce superior materials that meet the needs of restoration, renovation, and construction projects.

 

A Rich History Built on Tradition

Socli's story began in 1863 with the establishment of CHAUX RABOT, founded by Joseph Rabot. Over the decades, our company has grown and modernized, continually building on its heritage of quality and expertise.
1863: Joseph Rabot establishes lime kilns, marking the beginning of CHAUX RABOT.
1890: Ownership transfers to Alfred Delrieu, Rabot's foreman. At this time, limestone was manually loaded into carts.
1903: Construction of the Izaourt factory, which remains the cornerstone of our production today.
1935: Alfred Delrieu's son expands and mechanizes operations, enhancing efficiency.
1990: Socli acquires the company, ushering in a new era of growth and innovation.
