Summary/Abstract: The activities of the Association for Chemical and Metallurgical Production began to penetrate Slovakia in the 1920s and intensified from the second half of the 1930s. ACHaMP acquired companies in Slovakia in various ways, either through direct capital inflows or through mergers with other companies. The result was a large group of companies dealing with various industries. The conglomerate of companies was stratified from large Slovak pulp mills employing more than a thousand employees to smaller companies with specialized production with several dozen employees. ACHaMP thus gained a significant influence on the production process in the wood and chemical industry in Slovakia in the years 1939–1945. However, it had to coordinate its economic and trade policy with the strong influence of German interests in Slovakia, which intensified significantly after the Slovak state.
