Our journey
Chimo was founded in 1991 when he had the opportunity to buy the premises of a dynamite company in Canada. This enabled Chimo to work out the luminous idea he had: recycling production waste from the plastics producing petrochemical companies.
From there, Chimo grew into a comprehensive service provider to the petrochemical industry, constantly pushing the boundaries of plastics applications and bringing the (re)use of plastics to a next level, with sustainability continuously on our mind. Over the years, the ambition of global expansion and market leadership in polymer and chemical distribution, recycling and compounding, and building materials, became a reality.

In quality we trust! Quality is a topic that is often taken for granted, but at Chimo, nothing goes unchallenged. Quality has a high priority which is well embedded in our company culture. To us, long-term solid relationships with our customers and industrial partners provide the best measure for quality. Supported by ISO certifications, Chimo constantly tries to raise the bar on the quality level by implementing corrective and preventive actions where needed while stringent controls are carried out.
