SOPREMA was founded in 1908 by Charles Geisen, while seeking to develop a fully waterproof fabric that would also be flexible and easy to install, found the solution
by soaking jute fabric in hot bitumen. The result gave a lightweight but strong screed which came to be known as “MAMMOUTH®."
Today, the company operates over 50 manufacturing plants and has a presence in 90 countries across the world. In the United States, we manufacture in Wadsworth, Ohio and Gulfport, Mississippi.
SOPREMA continues to operate with core values of integrity, respect, commitment to excellence and a focus on sustainable product development to minimize our impact on the environment.
SOPREMA offers a vast array of roofing solutions allowing for choice and peace of mind in design and application. From the proven, redundant, durable protection of SBS-modified bitumen, to the multifunctional problem-solving features of highly flexible PMMA/PMA liquid applied systems, to the aesthetic and functional options of single-ply PVC, SOPREMA has a time-tested solution. SOPREMA has been expertly investing in the roofing industry for over 100 years.

In addition to replacing mineral surfaces with permeable and living surfaces within the properties, they compensate for the loss of ecosystem services caused by urban development.
In addition to being resistant to water and water vapor, SOPRA-XPS panels are versatile and capable of withstanding extreme temperature changes and freeze-thaw cycles without permanent damage. Moreover, even when exposed to moisture, SOPRA-XPS resists mold and bacteria.
Rigid and non-friable, SOPRA-XPS panels are suitable for a variety of applications. Sharp and clean cuts are easy to make and do not generate dust. Lightweight and easy to install, SOPRA-XPS panels are offered with various compressive strengths to meet all needs. Moreover, they provide one of the highest compressive strengths on the market, whether against heavy or dynamic loads.
SOPRA-XPS panels are compliant with the CAN ULC S701.1 standard thanks to the following four features: good compressive strength, high R-value (R-5/inch), dimensional stability and very low water absorption. Moreover, they provide a constant long-term R-value (LTTR) of R-5 per inch, even at low temperatures. They maintain their thermal and mechanical performance throughout the life of the building.
