Sonax is a manufacturer of detailing products and is owned by Hoffman Group. Sonax is probably most known for their polish and/or wax products.
Sonax history
Sonax is owned by Hoffman Group, which started in the industry of mining. In the 1930’s, the Hoffman Group supplied the raw materials for the metal polish “Brasso”. Having the materials, they started making their own product, calles “Sonne”. (the German name for “sun”). A few years later, they added wax to the recipe, giving birth to the name “Sonax”.
After the bankruptcy of Halfords and Koops, the Dutch Sonax Car Care got in some very serious problems and was force to reorganize the company in order to avoid bankruptcy themselves.
