Founded as a pioneer enterprise, CIL played an important role in supporting Singapore’s early industrialisation efforts and has since built a strong reputation as a reliable supplier of basic chemicals.
Over the years, the Group has continued to serve key industrial sectors, including the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, electronics, and water-treatment industries. CIL has also contributed meaningfully to Singapore’s journey towards water independence by supplying essential chemicals used in water purification and treatment processes. The Group’s long-standing commitment to reliability, safety, and responsible operations has remained central to its development.
