><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><strong>2002 to 2006 \u2013 The early years<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kemitek (formerly OLEOTEK) was established on November 28, 2002, as a non-profit corporation whose objective is\u00a0the management of all activities regarding the Transfer of Technologies (<a href=\"http:\/\/reseautranstech.qc.ca\/\">CCTT<\/a>) in industrial oleochemistry for the C\u00e9gep de Thetford. Additionally, Kemitek has received recognition as a Technology Access Centre (<a href=\"http:\/\/tech-access.ca\/en\/home\/\">TAC<\/a>) from the federal government. Kemitek now receives financial support from the Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00c9conomie et de l\u2019Innovation du Qu\u00e9bec (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economie.gouv.qc.ca\/accueil\/?no_cache=1\">MEI<\/a>), the Minist\u00e8re de l&#8217;\u00e9ducation et de l\u2019enseignement sup\u00e9rieur (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.education.gouv.qc.ca\/\">MEES<\/a>), the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca\/index_fra.asp\">CRSNG<\/a>) as well as the Corporation d&#8217;initiative et de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique de Thetford Mines (CIDET).<\/p>\n<p>The centre\u2019s activities began in February of 2003, at which time Kemitek was concentrating its efforts on building its expertise in oleochemistry through the implementation of actual projects in collaboration with SMEs. In the spring of 2004, due to a growing need for laboratories and offices, Kemitek moved from the C\u00e9gep de Thetford to more spacious premises, with the help of the City of Thetford Mines. In July of 2006, David Berthiaume replaced Benoit Pelletier as head of Kemitek.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>2007 to 2011 \u2013 The move to new premises<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>June 2007 marks Kemitek&#8217;s move into its Mooney Street offices, in Thetford Mines. These new premises are better suited to the fulfillment of its mission. Kemitek can continue to support its growth by expanding its laboratory space, offices as well as establishing a new pilot plant. The year\u00a02008 marks the opening of our explosion-proof pilot plant and the beginning of its operations. In 2009, the ever-growing number of research projects led to an increase of our team size, now composed of 11 professionals. Kemitek&#8217;s annual revenue have then reached $1\u00a0million.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>2012 to 2016\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Start of large-scale projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The year\u00a02010 came with new access to the National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) programs, leading to the financing of an important project for the development of bioplastics (a total of $5.5\u00a0million over 5 years), as well as an ambitious project for the valorization of microalgae. These two large-scale projects were put in place as consortia, including many private companies and research establishments.<\/p>\n<p>It was in 2011 that Kemitek acquired its current installations. At the end of the year, Kemitek obtained a second large CCI-IE grant\u00a0 of $5.5\u00a0million over 5 years for the valorization of oilseed for industrial application of materials and technical fluids. In 2012, Kemitek acquired new cutting-edge infrastructures: new testing and analysis equipment, expansion of the pilot plant as well as the complete renovation of the synthesis laboratories.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, an ever-growing number of research projects led to an increase in Kemitek&#8217;s team, now reaching 15 full-time employees, to which 5 to 10 part-time or temporary employees were added.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>2016 until today\u00a0\u2013 Expanded mission and infrastructure upgrade\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 2016, the center\u2019s expertise has expanded to include green chemistry, sustainable chemistry and process scale-up. Also, an important infrastructure upgrade project has been realized with an 1,7M$ investment from the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) jointly funded by federal, provincial, and local contributions. This project was completed in 2018 with the upgrade of\u00a0 the building envelope with ecoenergetic technologies and a complete refurbishing of the piloting facilities.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the center previously known as OLEOTEK changes its name to Kemitek. &#8221;\u00a0<em>Kemi\u00a0<\/em>&#8221; comes from the Greek and means &#8221;\u00a0<em>chemistry\u00a0<\/em>&#8220;, while &#8221;\u00a0<em>tech\u00a0<\/em>&#8221; represents all the innovation and technological development aspect that our research center offers to its partners. The basis for the name change is to better reflect our mission following its expansion and to be better recognized by more companies with need for innovation in the chemicals sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
