Cleartech Industries Inc

ClearTech had its origins as Prairie Industrial Chemicals Ltd. which was founded in 1977 to distribute chemicals from a Saskatoon chlor-alkali manufacturer. A corporate re-organization in 1992 turned Prairie Industrial Chemicals into a holding company, and PrairieChem Inc. took over the original chemical business.While originally active in Canada's three Prairie provinces, acquisitions as well as internal growth expanded the geography that the company covered. Canadian Miraclean Products, a bleach manufacturer and chlorine packager located in Richmond, British Columbia, was acquired in 1996. Fryston Canada Inc., an Ontario based distributor of water treatment instrumentation and industrial air and vacuum systems, joined two years later. In 2000, the company acquired the business of Carbon and Filtration Products of Toronto.
