In 1978 the company began producing polymer in oil solutions called viscosity index modifiers which are used in multi-grade crankcase oils.

Complex transports in and out a total of 650-750 jumbo car loads of materials per year with an expected increase to 800-900 cars in the near future. After being completely destroyed by a tornado in 2010, this family owned and operated company rapidly rebuilt and invested millions of dollars in upgrades. Currently employing over 100 people, Complex Chemical was the recipient of the Louisiana Economic Development’s Lantern Award in 2012. Lantern Award winners are selected by Louisiana’s eight Regional Planning and Development Districts, with selection based on the contributions of the manufacturers to their communities, including investments in employment growth and facility expansion.
