We help our customers reduce energy, water and other natural resource consumption, minimizing environmental releases while boosting the bottom line. Nalco Company is the world's leading water treatment and process improvement company.

Nalco was founded as National Aluminate Corporation in 1928 through a merger of Chicago Chemical Company and Aluminate Sales Corporation, two Chicago-based companies selling sodium aluminate to treat water. Chicago Chemical Company sold mainly to municipalities and industrial plants for boiler feedwater treatment. In 1929, National Aluminate organized a small company in Texas called Visco Products Company to also sell sodium aluminate as an additive for drilling mud used in oil wells. The replacement of steam locomotives by diesel units eliminated virtually half of Nalco's business in the United Sates. This proved a real turning point for the Company as it realized the need for diversification. Diesel fuel oil treatments and combustion catalysts, along with weed control chemicals for railroads created opportunities for Nalco in larger industrial markets. The Company name was officially changed to Nalco Chemical Company in 1959 to reflect the broadening scope of activity. Within Nalco's research and development efforts, there was significant movement from inorganic to organic chemistry and Nalco pioneered the development of important synthetic polymers for use in water treatment. Responding to customer needs during the energy crisis of the 1970s, Nalco's 50 years of experience in water treatment and petroleum technology, along with continued aggressive international expansion, helped the Company maintain a strong growth course. A new Technical Center in Naperville, Illinois was opened in 1979 with sophisticated process simulation equipment that, for the first time in this industry, allowed researchers to test product performance under customer plant operating conditions. Innovations in technology led Nalco to develop sophisticated diagnostic feed, control and monitoring systems that provide more value-added service to our customers. Our history of award winning technologies includes significant advances in many key areas. The Green Chemistry program recognizes and promotes the development of innovative chemical technologies that prevent pollution and that have broad industrial applications. Global market consolidation marked the decade of the 1990s as major industries worldwide addressed issues of core competency and competitiveness. Today's business challenges require you to troubleshoot, free up valuable manpower, avoid risks, focus on core competencies and identify opportunities for improvement to be more profitable and competitive. Nalco is focused on providing integrated solutions to solve the complex issues you routinely face. You can always trust us as a valuable resource for expertise and excellence. Our global service capabilities can help you meet your challenges and achieve your business goals in today's constantly changing economic climate.
