The DEHON Group

A pioneer in speciality chemicals

The DEHON Group, a family-owned company, has since 1874 been a specialist in cooling fluids for refrigeration and air-conditioning businesses. The development of this activity naturally led it to promote additional products on other markets. Over the years, it has become a leader in specialty chemicals:

- refrigerant gases
- propellant gases for sprays
- products for high technology (precision cleaning for aeronautics, medical, jewelery, watch industry ...)
- synthetic intermediate products
- products for electronics (board assembly)
- car products, technical fluids (coolants, screen wash and car care products)

The DEHON Group has won the trust of the world leading producers with whom it has established partnership agreements in many fields of application such as automotive, optics, aerospace, electronics and medical. Its commitment on sustainable development led it to develop the recovery and recycling of its products.
