Victorian Chemical Company
The Victorian Chemical Company is a manufacturer and marketer of specialty agricultural and industrial oleo-chemicals. Established in 1933 near the centre of Melbourne, Australia, the company has built a world-wide reputation for the design and production of customised products. In the early years, Victorian Chemicals concentrated on serving the textile and tanning industries that were booming in the inner city.
Our first agricultural product ( Voullaire's橢E-MULS-OYLE) was developed during the late 1930s in conjunction with local grape growers and the CSIRO to dry grapes to sultanas. Voullaire's檌s now the leading product for drying grapes in Australia and is used in several other countries under the Victoria檅rand.
In 1983 the company was purchased by the Killick family and shortly after several other agricultural products were developed including Bloat control Products for cattle and Insecticidal spray oils for Horticulture. During the 1990s development work focussed on adjuvants for Broadacre applications. HASTEN is the key product to be commercialised from this work that is now distributed in many countries.
Victorian Chemicals remains committed to the development of new innovative products that will exceed the expectations of our customers by utilising the skills and knowledge of our staff.
