Chemex Global, Inc.

Established in 1978 in Bakersfield, California, as Chemex, Inc., the company initially focused on used equipment refurbishment and later expanded into modular refinery construction. It rebranded as Chemex Modular and then Chemex Global in 2020 to reflect its expanded global EPC/EPCM capabilities. In December 2021, it was acquired by The Shaw Group and continues to operate as a standalone subsidiary with enhanced fabrication resources.

Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, Chemex Global offers a full range of services including feasibility studies, process design, front-end engineering, procurement, modular and conventional fabrication, construction management, and commissioning. The company has a strong emphasis on modularization to reduce costs, schedules, and on-site labor for energy projects worldwide.

Chemex Global has positioned itself as a key player in the energy transition, providing turnkey solutions for projects such as renewable fuel units and plastic pyrolysis facilities. In May 2022, it was awarded the fixed-price EPC contract for Freepoint Eco-Systems' 240 metric tons per day advanced recycling plant in Hebron, Ohio. The firm leverages its expertise and parent company's fabrication capacity to deliver projects with performance guarantees.
