History

Reijnen Chems was established in 1902 as the Seigerberg Coal Cooperation (Seigerberg Kolen Coöperatie) by the province of Heintsbergen as a government-owned mining company that would ensure there would be a government monopoly on the province's rich coal deposits. Only a few years later the state-owned company also started with the production of fertilisers in order to supply the farmers in the province with cheap fertilisers to spray on their fields.

During the 1970's the left-wing government decided to halt all coal mining operations in Lindenholt, this caused the company to lose one of their major products. Reijnen Chems, as the denationalised cooperation was now called, started to further diversify their business. The biotech business proved to be the most profitable for Reijnen Chems.
