Company History

EcoloChem GmbH was founded by EcoloChem Mosonmagyaróvár Kft. from Hungary to continue and expand the activities of the historic Chemische Fabrik Fährbrücke. Originally established in 1891, this factory has over 130 years of history and has undergone numerous transformations throughout its storied past. Following insolvency at the end of 2005, Loser Chemie GmbH took over operations. In 2016, EcoloChem Mosonmagyaróvár Kft. acquired the plant, marking the beginning of a new chapter under the name EcoloChem GmbH.

Under the name EcoloChem GmbH, a new chapter began for the site. The existing, well-established products of the plant were retained and harmonized with the product range of the Hungarian parent company. The integration of extensive experience and the exchange of innovative ideas have supported the sustainable development of both locations.

Within just a few years, the annual sales volume in Langenweißbach more than doubled, increasing from around 20,000 tons to over 40,000 tons. Through their combined market presence and an annual total production of over 100,000 tons of finished products, EcoloChem GmbH, together with its Hungarian parent company, ensures improved supply security for its customers, particularly in the event of unforeseen incidents or cases of force majeure.
