Nalco Water 纳尔科公司历史

history11928年，Nalco Water 纳尔科合并了两家销售铝酸钠水处理产品的芝加哥公司——芝加哥化学公司和铝业销售公司，并成立了国家铝业公司。芝加哥化学公司主要向市政机关和工业工厂销售锅炉给水处理设备。铝业销售公司主要向铁路行业销售用于调节蒸气机车用水的产品。

1929年，National Aluminate在德克萨斯州创立了一家小型公司，叫做Visco Products Company，这家公司还销售可用作油井的钻井泥浆添加剂的铝酸纳。此举帮助Nalco Water 纳尔科跨出了进军石油行业的第一步。  柴油装置替代蒸汽机车后，Nalco Water 纳尔科在美国的业务减少了一半。这是公司发展中的一个转折点，因为公司意识到需要实现产品的多样化。柴油燃料石油处理、燃烧催化剂，以及铁路杂草控制化学品为Nalco Water 纳尔科在更广泛市场中带来了机遇。

1959年，公司正式更名为Nalco Water 纳尔科化学品公司，以体现其更广泛的经营范围。通过Nalco Water 纳尔科在研发方面的投入，公司从无机化学品到有机化学品的转型过程取得了重大进展，并且Nalco Water 纳尔科领先开发了用于水处理的重要合成聚合物。

在20世纪70年代能源危机期间，Nalco Water 纳尔科一直积极向国际市场扩展业务，凭借在水处理和石油技术方面50年的丰富经验，满足了客户的需求，让公司保持了强劲的增长势头。

1979年，Nalco Water 纳尔科公司在伊利诺斯州内珀维尔市设立了新的技术中心，购置了精密的过程模拟设备，这在本行业历史上尚属首次，研究人员借助此设备能够在客户工厂的运营条件下测试产品的性能。1986年，公司在技术中心旁边建造了一个300,000平方英尺的办公楼，Nalco Water 纳尔科将企业总部搬迁至内珀维尔市。

1980年代和1990年代，环境问题受到了越来越多的关注。Nalco Water 纳尔科领先于市场，在1984年推出了一种可以替代容器桶的创新型方案，即：PORTA-FEED®先进化学品处理系统。这一系统的特色是采用各种尺寸的不锈钢装置，实现完全排水，并可对其进行堆叠和重复利用。技术创新使Nalco Water 纳尔科开发出成熟的、具有诊断功能的供料、控制和监测系统，为客户提供了更多的增值服务。在企业发展历程中，Nalco Water 纳尔科的技术屡获嘉奖，其中就包括在许多关键领域实现的重大进步。1999年，Nalco Water 纳尔科的ULTIMER®聚合物技术获得美国总统绿色化学挑战奖。对于可防止污染并具有广泛工业应用的创新化学技术，绿色化学计划对其进行了表彰并推动了它的发展。

20世纪90年代，全球大型产业均致力于解决核心能力和竞争力问题，所以全球市场整合成为主流。在那十年中，Nalco Water 纳尔科收购并整合了二十多家公司，最终Nalco Water 纳尔科在1999年被基础设施服务领域的全球领先企业Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux收购。Suez将Nalco Water 纳尔科与Calgon和Aquazur进行整合；这两家企业也是水处理和工艺化学品领域的全球领先企业。在2001年3月，Suez对其属下的水处理部门进行品牌整合，其中一个举措就是将公司更名为Ondeo Nalco Company。

两年后，一个由三家美国投资公司组成的财团从Suez购买了Nalco Water 纳尔科公司，并对其重新命名。2004年11月，新成立的Nalco Water 纳尔科控股公司通过首次公开发行股票在纽约证券交易所恢复了交易。强劲的销售增长促使Nalco Water 纳尔科的销售额在当年超过30亿美元，这在公司历史上尚属首次。投资集团从2005年到2007年初进行了一系列二级股票发行，他们通过此举将他们在公司的所有权完全分离出去。

2011年，Nalco Water 纳尔科与艺康合并。

Nalco Water History

Nalco Water was founded as National Aluminate Corporation in 1928 through a merger of Chicago Chemical Company and Aluminate Sales Corporation, two Chicago-based companies selling sodium aluminate to treat water. Chicago Chemical Company sold mainly to municipalities and industrial plants for boiler feedwater treatment. Aluminate Sales Corporation sold to the railroads to condition the water used in steam locomotives.

In 1929, National Aluminate organized a small company in Texas called Visco Products Company to also sell sodium aluminate as an additive for drilling mud used in oil wells. This helped establish Nalco in the oil industry.  The replacement of steam locomotives by diesel units eliminated virtually half of Nalco's business in the United Sates. This proved a real turning point for the Company as it realized the need for diversification. Diesel fuel oil treatments and combustion catalysts, along with weed control chemicals for railroads created opportunities for Nalco in larger industrial markets.

The Company name was officially changed to Nalco Chemical Company in 1959 to reflect the broadening scope of activity. Within Nalco's research and development efforts, there was significant movement from inorganic to organic chemistry and Nalco pioneered the development of important synthetic polymers for use in water treatment.

Responding to customer needs during the energy crisis of the 1970s, Nalco's 50 years of experience in water treatment and petroleum technology, along with continued aggressive international expansion, helped the Company maintain a strong growth course.

A new Technical Center in Naperville, Illinois was opened in 1979 with sophisticated process simulation equipment that, for the first time in this industry, allowed researchers to test product performance under customer plant operating conditions. In 1986, a 300,000 square foot complex was constructed adjacent to the Technical Center and Nalco moved its corporate headquarters to Naperville.

Increasing emphasis on the environment marked the 1980s and 1990s. Leading the market, an innovative alternative to drums was introduced by Nalco in 1984 — the PORTA-FEED® Advanced Chemical Handling System — which features stainless steel units of various sizes that are fully drainable, stackable, and easily re-used. Innovations in technology led Nalco to develop sophisticated diagnostic feed, control and monitoring systems that provide more value-added service to our customers. Our history of award winning technologies includes significant advances in many key areas. In 1999, Nalco’s ULTIMER® polymer technology received the U.S. Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award. The Green Chemistry program recognizes and promotes the development of innovative chemical technologies that prevent pollution and that have broad industrial applications.

Global market consolidation marked the decade of the 1990s as major industries worldwide addressed issues of core competency and competitiveness. More than two-dozen companies were acquired and integrated into Nalco during a decade that culminated with Nalco itself being acquired in 1999 by Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux, a world leader in infrastructure services. Suez integrated Nalco with Calgon Corporation and Aquazur — both world leading water treatment and process chemicals organizations. In March 2001, the Company’s name was changed to Ondeo Nalco Company as part of Suez’s rebranding of its water division.

Two years later a consortium of three American investment companies purchased Nalco from Suez and renamed the company again. In November 2004 the new Nalco Holding Company resumed trading on the New York Stock Exchange through an initial public offering of stock. Strong sales growth drove Nalco sales past the $3 billion mark for the first time that year. The investor group conducted a series of secondary stock offerings from 2005 through early 2007 by which they completely divested their ownership in the Company.

In 2011, Nalco merged with Ecolab.
