BIM Kemi, the family-owned Swedish specialty-chemicals company founded in 1973 and headquartered in Stenkullen outside Gothenburg, develops chemistry for the pulp and paper industry. Its Portuguese subsidiary, BIM Kemi Portugal — Produtos Químicos Lda, serves one of Europe’s densest pulp and paper clusters.
BIM Kemi describes itself as Sweden’s first specialty-chemicals supplier, developing and producing chemistry for the global pulp and paper industry since 1973 from its base in Stenkullen, outside Gothenburg. The group runs local operations in Portugal through BIM Portugal Lda — listed on the company’s own offices page and, as “BIM Kemi Portugal - Produtos Químicos, Lda”, in the Swedish Embassy and CLS 2026 catalogue of Swedish companies in Portugal.
Portugal is a natural market for Nordic paper chemistry: the country’s eucalyptus-based pulp and paper industry is among Europe’s largest, and its mills buy the functional and process chemicals BIM Kemi specialises in.
BIM Kemi is part of the industrial supply chain that links the Swedish and Portuguese forest-products economies — the same corridor axis this publication tracks through Navigator, Altri and their Nordic competitors and suppliers.
Fractio helps Nordic companies build the Portuguese relationships, references and operational footprint they need to succeed in Portugal.
