In 2003 Omega Chemicals made a decision to enter the Chlor Alkali market.  This move was based on the company's on-going philosophy of growth in markets that complement its already existing business.

The industry's lack of competition in the supply of Chlor Alkali products, especially Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) and Hydrochloric Acid was also the driving force behind Omega Chemicals' decision.

After an extensive feasibility study it was decided to build Omega Chemicals first Chlor Alkali plant in Victoria to service primarily the water treatment industry.  A 20 acre site was secured in Laverton North and construction began in early 2004.

The new plant was commissioned in late 2005 and today manufactures Sodium Hypochlorite, Hydrochloric Acid and Liquid Caustic Soda. All products are packaged in various sizes. The Laverton site includes Omega Chemicals' Customer Service Centre.
