About Sogem

Who are we?

SOGEM - General Joinery Company - was founded in 1987 in Charleroi by Francis Vandermiege.

As a specialist in wood, interior and exterior woodwork products, SOGEM quickly established itself as the pioneer in stair kits.

Since spring 2019, SOGEM is part of the DOLLE group, the world leader on the market for stairs and loft ladders. The Belgian branch has enabled DOLLE to establish itself on the kit staircase market, to develop its production capacities and to strengthen its logistical structure in Europe as well as its sales and supply synergies.

SOGEM currently employs 30 people in Belgium and has its own manufacturing factory, SOGEM Production, in Suceava, Romania.
