Integration of Oltchim assets
Following the acquisition by Chimcomplex SA Borzeşti in December 2018 of the five assets packages belonging to Oltchim, in 2020 continued the integration of the activities of the Borzeşti and Rm. Vâlcea platforms.
We have a well-trained workforce and together, specialists from all our platforms have done an exemplary job of bringing us one step ahead of the regional market.
Platform integration has brought about the improvement of our services to customers: securing the supply chain, developing new products, more efficient processes, easier contact (digitized) with our sales team.
During 2020, the company made investments worth approx. 6 million RON on the Borzeşti platform, and of 26 million RON on the Rm. Vâlcea platform.
The only biocide producer in Romania
At the early signs of the virus occurrence in Romania, we have increased production capacity and we have launched a new biocidal product „ready to use”, sodium hypochlorite in the 1.25% solution. We received confirmation that the product is virucide against coronavirus, following tests carried out by the independent laboratory J.S. Hamilton. Chimcomplex is the only Romanian producer of active biocide chlorine-based substances, sodium hypochlorite, lime chloride.
These products ensure surface treatment and disinfection against the most dangerous viruses and pathogenic agents and are also used and in the process of treating drinking water. Chimcomplex is thus a strategic company of the Romanian economy, for the national safety regarding the health policy of public water.
Bulgaria, Greece and Moldova do not have at national level chlorosodic or alcohol producers, nor other external supply sources, being directly dependent on our products. Cities such as Sofia, Athens and Thessaloniki have no other sources for providing drinking water. We have managed to meet the increased regional demand during the year and we feel responsible for remaining a trusted supplier in the future as well. Chimcomplex products are used in the energy sector, auto industry, chemistry and petrochemicals, cellulose and paper, pharmaceuticals, plastics, metallurgy, food, wood and furniture.
