Our specialist expertise has positioned us as a leading European provider in the market for:

  • regeneration of exhausted industrial solvents (and trading in virgin and recycled solvents)
  • purification of intermediaries and complex mixtures
  • synthesis of essential molecules used in many industrial processes (chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics…)

Always attentive to your needs, we also carry out custom work to design treatment solutions that perfectly suit the characteristics of the chemical you entrust us with and the chemical you wish to obtain.

We develop circular economies to help our clients cut their carbon footprint and preserve resources that are often fossil, rare or extracted in remote regions. As such, we support companies using chemicals to bring about their environmental transition in France and around the world.

We implement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) at our facility to guarantee we can provide clients in the pharmaceutical industry with chemicals that comply with regulatory standards in force for use in human or animal healthcare products.

The head office and core activities of Speichim Processing, which was set up in 1953, have been based in Saint Vulbas, south-east France, since 1989. Speichim Processing, which became a subsidiary of Séché Environnement in 2002, boasts four other sites: Valls Quimica (in Spain), Speichim Processing Montluçon (central France), Speichim Processing Beaufort (eastern France) and Speichim Processing Mourenx (south-west France), to ensure geographic proximity with its clients.

Fostering a circular economy to combat climate change and preserve resources

Regenerating industrial solvents helps to preserve the fossil resources used to make them. Moreover, the process to distill exhausted solvents generates 5 times less greenhouse gas than producing virgin solvents. Speichim Processing develops innovative circular economy loops to help industry move toward a lower carbon model.
