HISTORY
1954
CHIMCOMPLEX was founded in Borzesti, Onesti, Bacau County.
1966-1970
In Râmnicu Vâlcea, was established in 1966 SC OLTCHIM SA under the name of Râmnicu Vâlcea Chemical Plant.
In the two industrial platforms, the needed installations were put into operation for chlorosodium products, oxo alcohols, vinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride and HCH lindane, all based on foreign licenses.
1971-1980
At Oltchim takes place the development of the production profile from the first stage. New production capacities are put into operation and the product range is diversified with chlorinated solvents, propylene oxide, propylene glycols, polyethers, polyols, phosgene;
1981-1990
At Oltchim, new capacities were put into operation for organic intermediates (amines, chloroformates) and a wide range of pesticides.
1990
The Borzesti Chemical Plant was organized as a joint-stock company.
Since its establishment, successive investments in production have taken place: electrolysis, inorganic chlorides, solvents, PVC, alkylamines, pesticides.
1991
Chimcomplex enters the Trade Register as a joint-stock company with the majority state capital.
1991-1999
The products portfolio has been diversified on both platforms, over 40 basic products in over 78 assortments were developed. Thus we have been producing PVC, polyol polyether, plasticizers, pesticide formulas and formulas for processing plastic materials.
In 1997 Oltchim is listed on the capital market in the first category of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
2000-2003
Meant the fulfillment of some strategic objectives for the development of Oltchim: modernizations (oxo-alcohols installation, ion exchange membrane electrolysis), commissioning of new installations (caustic soda flakes and pearls, phthalic anhydride, dioctyl phthalate, water demineralization, waste incineration) ) and capacity expansions to existing facilities (propene oxide, flexible polyols, PVC).
2003
The company was privatized by Ștefan Vuza a Romanian entrepreneur.
2004-2011
At Oltchim, capacity modernizations and extensions were carried out at the existing technological installations: propene oxide, polyol-polyethers, PVC and a new waste incineration plant were put into operation, as well as an industrial lime plant. In 2010 the turnover decreases due to the lack of ethylene – the main raw material used in the production process.
2013
Oltchim goes into insolvency;
2018
In December, Chimcomplex completed the acquisition of the main assets of Oltchim SA Ramnicu Valcea. By acquiring these assets, Chimcomplex has strengthened its position as a producer and supplier of chemicals in Europe.
2019-2020
Chimcomplex achieved all its goals, including financial ones, but the path was very different from how it was planned. The company had taken decisive actions and had shown a lot of resilience during COVID-19. At the same time, we encouraged employees, focusing on customer needs and supporting its communities. Chimcomplex closed the year with a stronger balance sheet, ready to accelerate its strategy and realize bold plans for the future.
2021
Chimcomplex acquired part of the assets of CET Govora.
2022
Chimcomplex consolidated its service portfolio by acquiring Sistemplast S.A. Râmnicu Vâlcea, a company located on the Oltchim platform, specialized in providing integrated solutions for mechanics, design, construction, verification and monitoring of industrial works.
