The Leader in Calcium Chloride
Cal-Chlor Corporation was formed in Opelousas, Louisiana in 1982 as a warehouse facility for calcium chloride products serving the oil industry. In 1983, Cal-Chlor constructed a repackaging facility in Opelousas and partnered with Dow Chemical Company as its supplier. In 1996, Cal-Chlor acquired an existing packaging facility in Ludington, Michigan and invested more than $4,000,000 in upgrading the facility which is now the largest calcium chloride packaging facility in the world. In 2005, Cal-Chlor acquired Bound Brook in Piscataway, New Jersey. Cal-Chlor East becomes their third packaging and distribution facility. In July of 2009, Dow Chemical sold its calcium chloride business to Oxy Chemical. This relationship with Oxy as a customer and supplier of packaging and distribution services continues to be the corporation's strongest and most important asset.
Since its inception, Cal-Chlor sales have increased more than 1,000 percent as a result of concentrating on international oil industry and domestic industrial opportunities. Its continued growth strategy includes increasing international warehousing, increasing consignment locations and continuing to develop relationships with foreign producers which will allow Cal-Chlor to increase its position as a major supplier to the oil industry.Cal-Chlor strives to continue to provide customers the best options for dry calcium chloride products and services worldwide and is considered the world’s leading authority on dry calcium chloride packaging and distribution.
