Company History: The Unified Chemical Company was founded and incorporated in Zambia in 1979, to help meet shortages of essential commodities occurring at that time. Over the years the company has established a name for producing high quality products at low prices. Recognizing a need for locally produced vegetable oil, the company began the construction of a new, modern vegetable oil refining center to continue its tradition of high quality products. During the period, 1998 - 2003, the company went through a major rehabilitation of its plant and facilities culminating in the establishment of a modern plant along Katanga Road in the industrial area of Lusaka for the refining of crude soya oil and the manufacturing of soaps and detergents. The plant and technology for the refinery was supplied by a company who are the world leaders in edible oil refining technology. The oil refinery was commissioned in June, 2004 and soap plant was commissioned in December, 2014. The market share of the company in the domestic sector is steadily increasing and limited quantities are being exported to neighbouring countries. Our 3 main brands: Ole (edible oil), Solo (soap), and Magic (washing powder).
