Generally, the growth of the Chilean economy during the last fifteen years has been outstanding. The free-market economy has simulated strong economic growth, generating an increased competition which daily translates into continuous improvements of productivity. Both private investment and exports have been the driving for the Chilean growth.  

      Härting is a Chilean company with fifty years of activity and growth, with a remarkable management and production performance, not only because it has completed half a century of growth and innovation in the applied chemistry field, but because the history of Härting is a one of continuity and constant evolution, an experience that has been passed down from generation to generation to make the company today a model in the development of the country's chemical industry. In late 1992, Härting started an aggressive investment program with the construction of a modern chemical complex and an aromas chemical plant in Santiago, a turpentine fractionation plant and a tall oil derivates operation in Arauco.  

      Härting's management commitment is to project the company to place it among the most outstanding chemical companies in the region, and to obtain, in the long term, a reasonable return on the investment made by the shareholders.
