Chemplex Corporation is a well-established group of strategic importance to the Zimbabwean economy as a key supplier to agriculture, municipal water treatment, livestock production, mining and other sectors. Founded in 1928 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AECI South Africa, Chemplex was bought by the IDC of Zimbabwe in 1990. The company has six wholly-owned operating divisions; ZimPhos, Dorowa Mine, GD Haulage, Chemplex Marketing, Chemplex Animal and Public Health (CAPH) and G&W Industrial Minerals. Chemplex also owns 50% of ZFC and 36% of Sable Chemical Industries making it a key player in the national fertilizer industry. With a well-diversified product portfolio feeding into key sectors of the Zimbabwean and regional economy, the company is on a growth trajectory buoyed by the recovery of the local economy and anticipated robust regional growth.

The Corporation, in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has 800 employees including over 100 professionals (engineers, chemists, technicians, artisans, etc). To meet the high standard manpower required, the company trains graduates and apprentices every year and thus contributes to national manpower development.
