Mission DFE

DFE Chemie GmbH is a company of the DFE Group with headquarters in Düsseldorf and other locations in the European Union. In 2013, a branch office was also opened in Shanghai to further expand the company's activities in the important Chinese market.

The core business is the development, production and distribution of chemical products in the field of surface treatment. In particular, corrosion inhibitors of the FEPORID^® range make an important contribution to economically and ecologically sustainable pickling of steel.

What drives us

"We burn for progress and improve lives!"

This is the mission according to which we think, live and act at DFE.

The development of new products, the selection of projects, the structuring of corporate processes, the recruitment of new employees, the relationships with customers and suppliers - all this is aligned and focused on this mission.

And the focus is always on long-term customer benefit!

As a member of the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), DFE orients its actions towards the common interest of the association and acts in accordance with its values. This also includes the requirements of sustainability in its ecological, economic and social aspects.

The company's goals are not short-term profit-seeking or rapid growth. Instead, reliability and stability are important guidelines for the company - in addition to the orientation towards long-term customer benefit. Relationships with external partners are always based on long-term cooperation and sustainability.
