Wibax set up to meet the needs of the market
Wibax was set up in 1986 by Bo Wiklund, the company's founder and owner. The company was launched in order to work with chemicals from the pulp industry for distribution and sale on the market – a new and important business area. The acquisition of a tanker terminal for the storage of liquid chemicals proved to be of strategically crucial importance for further development. Wibax has now developed into a high-tech knowledge-based company that works on solving its customers' problems and developing industrial processes.

From the very beginning the company has experienced a very powerful expansion based on the considerable confidence of by its customers.
In order to cope with large increases in volumes and to guarantee deliveries, Wibax made considerable investments in increasing storage capacity and optimising its logistics. Efficient storage and transport has been a key word in the development of Wibax from the very beginning, and it continues to play an essential role. Over the years an ever-increasing number of new products has been included in an expanding range in increasing volumes.
Soon Wibax also became a retailer on the Nordic market for international chemical producers – an important addition to the company's own products.

A deliberate concentration of the company's efforts on R&D and the production of often unique, specialised products requiring expertise resulted in a new and strong expansion. The development work was carried out in close collaboration with the company's customers. Problem-solving, process-optimisation and customised applications were all developed to produce a distinctive skills area.

Wibax now has a turnover of approx. SEK 500 million and it supplies some one hundred chemical products.

Knowledge, experience and strong brands combined with Wibax' efficient logistics offers the customer added values that generate the best possible overall economy.
Wibax optimises its customers' use of resources, thus creating a good overall economy. That's Good Chemistry.
