Our history
The Chimirec independent group has grown in line with the new European norms and regulations that relate to the treatment of hazardous industrial wastes (HIW), especially those created by the automobile sector. Our carefully thought out development is closely tied to the notion of a service which is close at hand for SMEs throughout France.
1957
CHIMIREC, a family business created by Pierre Fixot, specialises in the collection of waste oil.
1975
This is the year when the new laws on the disposal of waste and the recovery of materials appear. In order to help industry meet these new requirements, CHIMIREC develops a specific expertise in the collection of HIW and diversifies its treatment processes. The company achieves a lasting partnership with numerous SMEs. This core expertise will enable the company to expand throughout France and to win the confidence of large industrial groups.
1987
Jean Fixot is CEO for the CHIMIREC Group. The group develops and adapts in line with new norms and legislation related to the collection, sorting and recovery of hazardous waste. CHIMIREC continues a sustained policy of internal and external growth, absorbing the changes in the market to be able to better adapt to its demands. While all the time retaining its independence and philosophy, the group alternates between assimilating existing companies and establishing specialised plants.
2001
The staff of CHIMIREC supports the company's commitment to the threefold QSE certification. Jean Fixot puts forward as objective the achievement of the threefold Quality ISO 9001, Environment ISO 14001 and Safety OHSAS 18001 certification for every site and for all CHIMIREC's services by 2009.
2004
The Group is present on the international market. It has its first site in Poland: CHIMIREC SEPTOS.
2005
Jean Fixot unites all the structures and expertise relating to collection and consolidation under the name ‘CHIMIREC Group'.
2009
The 2001 QSE objective has been reached, as by the end of the year all the facilities will have obtained the QSE certification from AFAQ (French Association for Quality Assurance). As part of this ongoing commitment, the CHIMIREC Group wishes to obtain a unified certification for all three frames of reference in order to strengthen the cohesiveness and solidarity between the different subsidiary companies. Moreover, CHIMIREC will soon put all its energy into an ambitious sustainable development project.
