Altair Chimica Spa

Altair Chimica is one of the leading players in producing potassium inorganic derivatives and is part of the Esseco Group, the industrial group that has been developing products for almost a century to ensure high performance and safety in the field of inorganic chemistry and oenology. In 2005 Altair has been the first European KOH producer to fully convert to mercury-free membrane cell technology. The new mercury-free chlor-potash plant, build on green field to avoid any potential mercury contamination, was the first one in Europe and, from a technological point of view, among the most advanced in the world for the production of very pure potassium derivatives. Altair Chimica works everyday to foster a useful and sustainable innovation of processes, technologies and products, in close collaboration with universities (Firenze, Pisa) and the CNR (National Research Council, the largest public research institution in Italy).
