After 40 years of profitable business in the chemical and petrochemical field, a group of investors saw in the epoxy resins sector a market with an interesting growth potential for the new millennium. The chance to acquire the know-how of a well established historical Italian company enabled them to jump-start the new enterprise and combine 25 years of formulation and engineering achievements with modern, cutting-edge plant and lab technology, creating the conditions for the production to reach first class quality levels. ddchem was set up in 2003 as a manufacturer of hardeners for epoxy resins, epoxy systems and hot melt polyamides. Its mission is to set a new benchmark for quality, service and tailor-made systems.
