IMPAG turns 100: Off to a new century
In 2019, IMPAG celebrates its 100th anniversary and looks back on an eventful and successful history. Various celebrations around the anniversary will accompany employees, customers and partners through this special anniversary year.
After the end of World War I, the procurement of chemical raw materials was very expensive and inconvenient. This led to the fact that in 1919 some textile companies founded an import company under the name IMPAG. Now, after 100 years, the small importer has become a specialized trader and service provider, distinguished by the opening of new markets and the differentiation and further development of traded products. Over the years, the company has developed into an international supplier of raw materials with national companies in Germany, France, Poland, Austria and Switzerland, focusing on the Chemicals, Nutrition & Health, Personal Care and Pharma sectors.
IMPAG relies on reliable partnerships that are characterized by fairness and openness, according to a statement on the anniversary. Remo Bernardi, CEO of IMPAG Group, sees further reasons for the company's success in its management culture, which allows a great deal of flexibility and freedom: "Our culture thrives on the entrepreneurship of our employees, the associated implementation of ideas and visions, and the simultaneous exemplification of corporate values and clarification of expectations". The broad base with its own companies in Europe gives the company strength and flexibility. The teams of the individual national companies are in close contact, use synergies and benefit from the existing know-how.
Throughout the year, IMPAG celebrates the past 100 years through a variety of events and activities, looking back, but above all looking forward, to a dynamic and digital future in which the company intends to assert and develop itself.
