About CHIMI ART
Pioneering chemical solutions since 1977
Nearly Five Decades of Chemical Excellence
Founded in 1977 in Cairo, Egypt by visionary chemists, CHIMI ART began as a small laboratory with a bold mission: to deliver world-class chemical solutions to industries across the region. Nearly five decades later, that vision has grown into two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities with an annual capacity exceeding 30,000 tons.
