George Dommer & amp; Co. was an early chemistry company, which existed from 1782 until shortly after 1826. It was based in Nieuwer-Amstel.
The company derives from a trade in chemicals and dryers. In 1782, the Nieuwenburg chemical plant was founded in Nieuwer-Amstel on the site of a former cotton printer. Here, many chemicals were produced or refined, such as oleites (fine oils), hot water, camphor, borax. In addition, mercurials or mercury preparations, such as sublimates. In 1971, a factory was planted on an adjacent site where vermilion, hot water, vitriol oil (sulfuric acid) and spiritsal salem (hydrochloric acid) were produced. Salpeter also belonged to the assortment. In 1798 this was followed by a salmiak and Glauberzoutfabriek. In 1799 there was also a factory for carmine, Florentine lacquer and ultramarine (based on smalt). These dyes were used in a 1800 porcelain plant. There were 30 workers working.
However, the expansions caused the company a lot of debts, and in 1816 only a few workers worked. Only the camphor stew and borax refinery still existed. In the end, the company went to bed. External source
