In 1978, the precursor company of Chimar Hellas, named as MARLIT, was established. Over the years, additional patents for adhesives were developed and the company entered into collaboration with the German manufacturer, Bison Werke Bähre und Greten. New patents led to the application of novel chemical products, such as additives, catalysts, and hardeners.
In 1994, the company under its new name, Chimar Hellas, began developing technologies for the production of formaldehyde-based resins such as UF, Melamine resin, and PF. Together with its subsidiaries MARLIT Ltd. and Adhesives Research Institute Ltd., the company laid the foundation for the ACM Wood Chemicals Plc corporate group. In 2002, Chimar Hellas fully absorbed ACM Wood Chemicals Plc.
In 2013, Chimar Hellas S.A. received a key distinction in the European Business Awards for its activities.
The company's R&D department has participated in several research programs funded by the European Union, collaborating with international companies, wood product industries, and universities.
Chimar Hellas is currently directed by Effy Markessini'
