- Business
- Societe Chimique ALKIMIA SA is a Tunisia-based chemical manufacturing company primarily engaged in the production, processing, and distribution of mineral chemicals and inorganic phosphate derivatives for detergent, animal nutrition, and industrial applications. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Tunis, Tunisia, the company operates an integrated chemical production complex located in the Gabès industrial zone. Societe Chimique ALKIMIA SA manufactures and distributes a systematic portfolio of chemical products that includes sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) in various bulk densities and technical grades, utilized primarily as a builder and water-softening additive in synthetic laundry detergents, industrial cleaning formulations, water treatment, and ceramic processing; monocalcium phosphate (MCP) and dicalcium phosphate (DCP), developed as high-purity inorganic phosphate supplements for poultry and livestock animal nutrition; technical-grade phosphate salts and specialized phosphoric acid derivatives; and chemical by-products generated during synthesis, including fluorosilicic acid and sodium sulfate. The company serves a diverse commercial client base encompassing multinational detergent manufacturers, agricultural cooperatives, feed producers, and chemical distributors across domestic and export markets in North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, and the Middle East. In recent developments, Societe Chimique ALKIMIA SA has pursued major strategic diversification and operational restructuring initiatives to mitigate the global detergent industry's long-term shift away from sodium tripolyphosphate. As part of this transition, the company commissioned and scaled up an industrial monocalcium phosphate (MCP) production unit at its Gabès site to expand its footprint in the animal feed additive sector. In addition, the company has enacted operational turnarounds and strategic procurement agreements to stabilize raw material inflows—particularly merchant-grade phosphoric acid from Groupe Chimique Tunisien (GCT)—while evaluating further plant modernization projects and portfolio extensions into water-soluble technical fertilizers and specialty industrial chemicals.
