ACP is founded as l'Acide Carbonique Pur. The company plans to produce carbonic acid and other food products.
In the next decades CO₂ production evolves: first CO₂ is recovered from flue gases in limekilns, later it is recovered from combustion of cokes, and even later from the combustion of heavy fuel oil.

ACP diversifies its product range and decides to invest in the butane and propane market. ACP reaches a sales volume of over 1,000,000 butane/propane cylinders a year and is the number two player in Belgium.
