The Heart of Innovation

We opened our first laboratory solely dedicated to research and development. This lab quickly became the core of our innovation, where our most promising ideas began to take shape.

Growing Our Team

As our ambitions grew, so did our team. We expanded our lab space to accommodate ten skilled lab technicians. This growth allowed us to accelerate our research efforts and discover new opportunities.

Pioneering Products

2012 was a landmark year with the development of our top product range: CLiQSPERSE, CLiQFLOW, and CLiQSMART. This year also saw the establishment of CLiQ SwissTech B.V. (Netherlands) and CLiQ SwissTech GmbH (Germany), extending our reach across Europe and strengthening our dedication to progress.

First Industry Showcase

By 2013, we had completed our base product line and made a notable debut at the European Coating Show in Nuremberg. This first major industry appearance marked a significant milestone for us.

Our ambitions extended beyond Europe, leading us to expand our activities to China. This strategic move marked the beginning of our global presence and opened new opportunities in the Asian market.

Securing Our First Patent

In 2016, we filed our first patent, solidifying our dedication to protecting our unique solutions and cementing our role as innovators in the industry. That same year, we also celebrated the foundation of CLiQ SwissTech SRL in Italy, an opportunity that extended our presence and emphasised our focus on global technological progress.

Across the Atlantic

Our expansion continued as we extended our reach to the Americas. This strategic move allowed us to tap into new markets and enhance our global impact, bringing our innovative solutions to a broader audience.

Scaling Up

Recognizing the growing demand for our high-quality products, we undertook a major capacity extension of our CLiQFLOW associative thickener production. This expansion ensured we could continue to set industry standards and meet our clients’ needs.

A New Chapter

We moved into our new home, a state-of-the-art facility located in Groningen, Netherlands. Equipped with advanced technology, this facility represents our growth and commitment to providing high-quality solutions for our clients.

North American Foundation

In 2023, we established CLiQ SwissTech LP in North America, enhancing our efforts to offer local expertise and support to our global clients.
