The story

Kemira’s history begins with the State Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Plants, founded in 1920. When it became known in Finland that machinery for a sulphuric acid plant was for sale in Germany, the plant was purchased and a company (Kemira) was established around it.

The company supplied chemicals needed to supply the Finnish industrial, mining, and fertilizer production sectors.

In 1971, Typpi Oy — active in nitrogen industry in Oulu since 1952 — was merged into the company, and Rikkihappo Oy became Kemira Oy.

Kemira Oyj was listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki in 1994.

In 2008, the company decided to focus on water chemistry.

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kemira announced in March 2022 that it would suspend deliveries to Russia and Belarus. In May, the company stated it would exit the markets entirely.

In February 2024, the company’s oil and gas business was sold in the United States to Sterling Specialty Chemicals LLC.
