The synergy within the FlexDev group is strong; through it, we are delivering a powerful response to global textile-marking requirements.

ABOUT The company was founded in Saint Etienne, south-east France, in 1983 as an adhesive film manufacturer before quickly specialising in heat-transfer films for textiles.

OUR WORK Chemica was taken over in 2005 by Jean-Jacques Doassans, a former company manager in the PPR group (now Kering), who has skilfully guided Chemica’s transition to a growth company driven by innovation. Over the last decade, Chemica has focused on offering an ever-expanding range of heat-adhesive films that have set new standards in thinness, trend-leading "Fashion" motifs and 3D effects.

Chemica has followed the rise of digital print technology and the development of custom design solutions by bringing out printable versions of its heat-adhesive transfer films that can be used with a range of inks and printers. With subsidiaries opening in the USA in 2007 and Hong Kong in 2011, Chemica has become a global name in textile marking.

2009, the company assumed group status with the purchase of French heat-press manufacturer SEFA. The Italian heat-transfer screen printing manufacturer Stilscreen added its reputation and expertise in heat transfer applications for sportswear when it became a member of the group in 2012.

The group continues to work with big-name brands including Adidas, Nike and Puma, as well as with leading football clubs such as AC Milan, Olympique Lyonnais, and many more. Chemica currently sells its products in over 75 countries worldwide, primarily through its distribution network. Our company enjoys a reputation for highly stable, high-quality products, most of which are certified as harmless to babies' skin in accordance with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1.

The company moved to new, more production-friendly premises in January 2015, increasing productivity and storage capacity. These new facilities give us the potential to expand our manufacturing plant in line with rising demand. The group has also added to its content through the acquisition of the English textile custom-marking specialist Elms Marketing in 2016. Elms Marketing works for some of Europe’s major football teams, as well as big brand names including Umbro, NFL, NBA, and others.

2018 will be a notable year for Chemica ! It’s marked by the change of the visual identity of the FlexDev group to which it belongs and also the retirment of its leader since 2005, Jean- Jacques Doassans. He has been replaced by Jacques Berger, former Managing Director at Eurotab, since March at the management of the company.

Another notable event : this year the company is celebrating its 35th anniversary !

THE CHEMICA COMMITMENT The concern for the safety and development of children around the world is a cause close to Chemica's heart, which is why Chemica is now engaged with The UNICEF.
