Ittehad Chemicals
Limited, one of Pakistan's
front-line
manufacturers of basic inorganic chemicals has come a long way. The
Factory, commissioned in 1964 started off production with an initial
installed capacity of 60 MT Caustic Soda and 54 MT/day of Chlorine.
Rising demand facilitated the first expansion phase which was
carried out in 1969 enhancing capacity to 90 MT/day of Caustic Soda
and 81 MT/day of
Chlorine.

Until this
time the unit was well known in industry circles as United Chemicals
before being nationalized and renamed as Ittehad Chemicals by the
Government and being put under control of the Federal Chemical and
Ceramics Corporation Limited (FPCCL). Another Unit, Insecticide
Pakistan Ltd., also after nationalization in 1973 and renaming as Ittehad Pesticides Ltd.,
was later on merged into Ittehad
Chemicals Limited. In 1983, the production capacity of Ittehad
Chemicals was further increased to 150 MT/day of Caustic Soda and
135 MT/day of Chlorine.
After
encountering turbulence through the nationalization phase, Ittehad
Chemicals was ultimately privatized in July 1995, with the Management
having been taken over by the Chemi Group of Industries. This transition
brought with it a new set of challenges, a bold vision and a
transformational proactive behavior at the workplace to set in
motion a new era of growth and stability.
The present
product line includes Caustic Soda (Solid, Liquid and Flakes),
Liquid Chlorine, Hydrochloric Acid, Sodium Hypochlorite (Liquid
Bleach), Zinc Sulphate Mono, Bleaching Earth (Shaffaf), Sulphuric Acid and
Lime, for industrial use.
From a feeble
business unit to a robust manufacturing enterprise, the pioneering vision
of the Chemi Group of Industries continues to take Ittehad Chemicals
to new levels of achievement and success. Success that has evolved
from a deep understanding of the business, diversity of enterprise,
magnitude of the human skills, and a will to forge ahead with
new challenges and objectives in mind.
