ABOUT NORQUIM
NorQuim was founded on the initiative of a group of professionals from the chemical and business sectors, experienced in these industries and convinced that they could help address today’s challenges through a lens of innovation and sustainability.
This led to the NorQuim Technological Complex, conceived to produce strategic supplies for mining — soda ash, calcium chloride, and lime — and, in a second phase, e-Methanol, under the principles of the green and circular economy.
This means operating under a model that makes the most of resources, minimizes impacts, reuses waste and, above all, creates triple value: social, environmental, and economic.
Corporate Purpose
To produce strategic inputs for the energy transition industries, creating value for Mejillones and its community.
OUR TEAM
A group of experts and leaders with extensive experience in the mining, energy, and innovation industries, responsible for guiding NorQuim’s strategy and sustainable growth.
