History


Chematur Engineering AB has a long and impressive history

Our history goes back all the way to Alfred Nobel and the heritage of his achievements. Alfred Nobel started the chemical industry in Karlskoga (Bofors) year 1894, and in the 1930´s a separate department within AB Bofors was created to take care of the chemical export business. At that time we also delivered our first export project.

 

1968 we changed name to AB Bofors Chematur and later to AB Bofors Nobel Chematur. After a MBO (Management Buy Out) 1992, we became Chematur Engineering AB, which since then is our company name.During the years we have aquired a number of companies through out the world; IBI Chematur in Mumbai, India; Weatherly Inc., Atlanta, USA; Chematur Ecoplanning Oy, Pori, Finland; Plinke GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany. Meanwhile Chematur Engineering AB has expanded also its process technologies from the original explosives and propellant processes dating from the late 19th century into other areas. Our knowledge of safe handling and operation of hazardous chemical processes has led to expansion into processes for isocyanates, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, and acid purification.Chematur Engineering has also acquired and further developed a state of the art Hydrogen Peroxide technology.

Another important activity since the 1950’s has been ethanol and ethanol derivatives. We are working in this field through our Biostil ® 2000 process. One of our important ethanol derivatives is Bioethylene.

CEAB utilizes the most modern engineering systems available. We have successfully practiced global engineering where our different companies share the same database working round the clock. Since we work with the most advanced technologies, our people are of the utmost importance. We constantly educate our staff in the latest technologies and engineering systems
