The turnover of the acquired business is today about EUR 5 million. Belinka is located in Ljubljana in Slovenia and is today the only producer of both solid and liquid Aluminium sulphate in the area. In addition the company is also producing a dried Al hydroxide used for flame retardants and fillers in plastic products.
The new Kemira company will be in a position to supply the customers a full range of water treatment chemicals and thus be able to satisfy the increasing demand for water treatment chemicals in Slovenia and the surrounding countries.
