In April 2007, NRC began its expansion into the Swiss market through its acquisition of prochem AG. With its headquarters in Zurich, prochem AG was founded in 1963 to supply the Swiss market with chemical specialities and began its successful cooperation with NRC many years prior to the takeover. Since that time, NRC has been able to offer even more comprehensive services to its customers and suppliers.

prochem AG supplies products to a variety of industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, paint and varnish, printing inks, construction, plastics, adhesives, technical chemicals, industrial cleaners, and lubricants.

Maintaining direct contact with customers and suppliers, the competent technical staff facilitates the development of innovative, market-aligned products on the basis of new as well as established specialities and techniques.
