ZSCHIMMER & SCHWARZ is an internationally active company with headquarters in Lahnstein near Koblenz, Germany. The company has been family-owned since its foundation in 1894 in Chemnitz, Germany.

Our core business is the development, manufacture and delivery of tailor-made chemical auxiliaries for the leather, fur, ceramic, textile and fiber industries. In addition, ZSCHIMMER & SCHWARZ is one of the leading manufacturers of high performance chemical specialities and auxiliaries for cosmetics and cleaning applications as well as phosphonates and polymer-based solutions.

The corporate group ZSCHIMMER & SCHWARZ combines 28 companies in 14 countries on five continents, 20 of which have their own production facilities. Our customers can always rely on a uniform quality standard worldwide and equally on the high service orientation of our local experts.

Owing to the ingenuity of scientists, chemistry is taking a major share in the cultural achievements of modern times. Chemicals have become an integral part of our lives. They are beneficial in so many respects without us being aware of their presence. Who would think that the clothing we wear, the shampoo we use for our hair, the tiles on which we step, or the shoes on our feet are all made possible by high grade chemical auxiliaries.

Making these products available – and developing even better ones – is the core of our business. Our innovative force and proximity to the customer have been the characteristic hallmarks since the foundation of our company in 1894. All business units work every day to make life easier, safer and more convenient for our customers and in this way for the people in the world.
