We are proud and grateful:
AGATEX Feinchemie GmbH has been honored with the prestigious Austria’s Leading Companies (ALC) Award as the best medium-sized company in Upper Austria. 🏆
This award is a great honor for us – and it confirms that we are on the right track: sustainable innovation, long-term thinking, and genuine teamwork make all the difference.

Success built on two strong pillars

Today, AGATEX has two successful business areas:
fine chemicals, where we develop and produce specialty chemicals for fiber, nonwoven, paper, and wood-based material applications,
and refrigerants, where we operate as a full-service provider for the refrigeration industry—with a focus on quality, safety, and responsibility.

This combination of chemical expertise and technical application is what makes us special:
we combine tradition and innovation, industrial know-how and sustainability, regional roots and an international perspective.

A prize that belongs to many

This success is the result of the work of many people.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our employees, who work passionately, courageously, and responsibly every day to develop new solutions—whether in the laboratory, in production, in sales, or in engineering.

They ensure that our customers in Europe and Asia can count on products and services that combine quality, safety, and sustainability.

Partnerships as a foundation

We would also like to thank our partners and customers who have accompanied, challenged, and inspired us for many years.
Together, we create innovations that solve real challenges—in refrigeration technology as well as in specialty chemicals.
This cooperation between equals is the foundation of our success.

Values that guide us

As a fifth-generation family-run business, we know that true strength is based on consistency.
Our values—responsibility, integrity, quality, and entrepreneurial courage—guide us in everything we do.

We invest in people, research, and sustainable technologies to remain a leader and a reliable partner in the future.

Looking ahead

For us, the ALC Award is not a goal, but an incentive.
With the establishment of our new production site in Thailand, the further development of our refrigerant services,
and new sustainable solutions in fine chemicals, we are continuing on our growth path.

Our goal remains clear:
to shape chemistry and refrigeration technology responsibly – for industry, the environment, and society.

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey—our team, our partners, our customers, and friends of the company.
This success belongs to all of you. 💙
