History

It was founded in 1970 in the municipality of l'Hospitalet de Llobregat by Orazio Samoggia[3] an Italian businessman well known in the printing industry.

From 1970 to 1980 the company grew to occupy a significant position in the field of polyamide flexographic inks.

In 1986, six years after moving its facilities to the town of Rubí near Barcelona, the company sharply increased its market position creating a new factory for the production of pigment dispersion chips and later, a special section dedicated to the growing market for water-based flexographic inks.

Chimigraf was introduced in other markets such as France, South America, North Africa and Eastern Europe.

In 1985 the factories were opened in Valencia and Madrid.

In the year 2000 it entered the digital ink market, creating a new structure for the manufacture of ink-jet inks.

Chimigraf Ibérica has its own technology in the field of DOD ink-jet.2 ink, solvents, oil, or curing UV.[4]
