Our History

Founded in 1999, Soft Chemicals has experienced significant growth. The company relocated to Marnate in 2003 and began exporting its products internationally in 2005. In 2011, it achieved a production capacity of over 5,000 tons of auxiliary chemicals, including innovative nanotechnology-based products.
Soft Chemicals has continued to expand its operations and product range. In 2012, it established an Industrial Laundry Division. In 2018, it became the exclusive distributor of Devan Belgium products in Italy and obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification. The company further diversified its business in 2019, entering new markets for paint, water treatment, and construction additives. To demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and employee well-being, Soft Chemicals achieved ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications in 2020.

Our History

Soft Chemicals began its journey in 1995 with the founding of Liberty Chemicals in Arsago Seprio. Officially established as Soft Chemicals in 1999, the company swiftly built a reputation for excellence in textile chemistry. In 2003, we expanded our presence by opening an additional production facility in Marnate, strategically located within Italy's textile heartland, enhancing our capabilities and global outreach, initiated in 2005.

In 2023, a significant milestone was reached with the merger of Liberty Chemicals and Soft Chemicals, forming a unified and strengthened entity. This merger allows us to deliver an expanded range of services and products, bolstering our market presence and commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Combining passion, technical expertise, and flexibility, we build strong, trusting relationships with our clients based on collaboration, integrity, and mutual respect.

Soft Chemicals maintains certifications in ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, reflecting our dedication to quality management, environmental sustainability, and employee well-being.
