Vopelius Chemie - Family Tradition since 1982

Our emphases are focussed on acquisition, development and production of customer-specific products.

For our customers we are looking for specific solutions. We consider our customers as lomg-term partners and wish to gain their confidence by

Product competence,
Responsibility to Quality,
Readiness of Service and
Commitment to Security.

By means of these company principles we have been able to resolve a lot of specific problems together with our customers during the last years. These include the development of the patented TIN-COAT^® procedure for the plating of aluminium pistons within the automative engineering as well as a modern cleaning procedure for phosphoric acid.

Due to the foundation of the company Galvano Chemie Leipzig GmbH in 1992 as production plant within our group we are able to offer toll production of finished products in the range of special metal salts for the surface technology to our customers.

Since 1994, Vopelius Chemie are operating within the international trade ensuring the importat of high quality raw materials by long-termed partnerships. In this connection the foreign trade department, which has been founded in 1994, is operating mainly in Eastern Europe and Asia.

With our exportation business we are partners in most different chemical branches and we represent well known suppliers via our agencies at Moscow and Almaty.

Since 1995 we dispose of a branch office in China. Via our Chinese partner company GVCo at Guangzhou special products of Vopelius Chemie GmbH for the surface technology are provided.

In 2001 Vopelius Chemie GmbH was transformed into a stock corporation. Due to the merger with Galvano Chemie at Leipzig in the beginning of the year 2002, the further activities of Vopelius Chemie AG are zoomed on the production and processing of products for the surface technology of most different materials.

In 2003 occured the acquisition of Soderec International SAS at Pierrelatte/France, which is specialized in the production and distribution of fluoric products. With this acquisition our range of products for the surface technology has been enlarged.

2007, in the 25^th year of the existence of the Vopelius Chemie AG the departments domestic trade and foreign trade were transfered to Leipzig, domicile of the production plant. The new division is responsible for the entire national distribution as well as the export business and by this means it will accommodate with the change which has meanwhile taken place at the international markets.

The creation of strategic alliances with partners from the most different branches of our activities will ensure the maintenance and continuous development of the company in the future.
