LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

AS PER WEBSITE DETAILS:

 

PROFILE:

 

Subject is comprised of more than 800 dedicated and creative engineers, designers, procurement and technology transfer specialists located in seven major global offices that provide engineering, procurement and construction management services to process industry customers worldwide. Headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, the company maintains EPCM capability in both Mumbai and Bangalore in India and at Shanghai and Beijing in China. A sister firm, Chemtex Italia s.r.l., was founded in Tortona, Italy in 2005, and the company has opened an additional engineering center in Philadelphia.

 

Founded in 1947 as Rayon Consultants by several former DuPont employees, the company re-organized as Chemtex in 1958 and was privately held until purchased by Mitsubishi Corporation in 1989, following the 1987 death of founder Eugene Remmer. After fifteen years of ownership, Mitsubishi determined that Engineering was outside their core business sphere and decided to divest the organization. A long time Chemtex client and business partner, Gruppo Mossi & Ghisolfi of Milan, Italy, acquired the firm in December 2004. Originally based in New York, the company relocated to Wilmington, North Carolina in 1999. Chemtex established permanent operations in India in 1962 and in China in 1984. Their vision is to:

 

Ø       Grow their global engineering and technology transfer business by consistently providing high quality deliverables;

 

Ø       Operate globally with zero incident safety performance;

 

Ø       Strengthen their global reputation as a premier provider of front end loading, basic engineering, procurement, project & construction management and detailed engineering services utilizing internationally accepted standards and which meet or exceed customer expectations;

 

Ø       Primarily serve the fibers, polymers, chemicals, petrochemicals, refining, bio-fuels, gas processing and environmental remediation industries;

 

Ø       Operate with a “one company – multiple office” philosophy;

 

 

TECHNOLOGIES
