Why we do, what we do.
Our Story.
At SAMPOCHEM, our roots are deeply intertwined with Finnish heritage, drawing inspiration from the national epic 'Kalevala'. The SAMPO, a mythical artifact in the epic, symbolizes innovation and prosperity, mirroring our ethos as a company. This legendary inspiration fuels our commitment to pioneering advancements in the chemical industry.
Nestled in the heart of the Chemiepark Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany's oldest and one of Europe's largest chemical parks, SAMPOCHEM stands on a foundation rich in history and innovation. This park, spanning approximately 1,200 hectares, is a hub of industrial progress and diversity, hosting over 300 companies and employing around 12,000 people. It represents a legacy of transformation, where former state-owned enterprises have evolved into agile, modern corporations in a collaborative environment.
In this historic and dynamic setting, SAMPOCHEM thrives with a clear mission: to develop innovative chemical additives for food, feed, and industrial applications. 'Made in Germany' isn't just a mark of quality; it's a testament to our dedication to excellence and innovation. We strive to be at the forefront of the chemical industry, embodying the spirit of the SAMPO in every endeavor - transforming raw potential into tangible success, much like our mythic namesake transformed base materials into gold.
