Even if the origins of the company date back to 1926 with the foundation of the "SociétéLandaise de Produits Chimiques" which was producing at the time charcoal, tar and pyroligneous from the Landes' pine trees, it was only in 1933 that the "Manufacture Landaise de Produits Chimiques" (MLPC) has been created. Decision has been taken in 1998 to change its name into "MLPC International"
