Sonax GmbH & Co KG is based in Neuburg, Germany and owned by the Hoffman family. The history of Sonax dates back to 1903, when Hoffman Mineral was founded by Franz Hoffman. The mineral company mined silica, which is and was popularly used in polishes. The first product produced by Sonax, then named Sona, was a silver polish. While successful, the silver polish served a very small niche market. The company then turned their attention to car polish and added an x to the Sona name. Starting in the 1950s, Sonax began establishing itself as one of the leading makers of car care products in the world. Today, Sonax still uses minerals mined in Neuburg in the manufacture of Sonax and nts7 car care products.
