Today's Nola Chemie GmbH was founded at the beginning of the last century under the name Novaktinchemie. The first Ferex®-sales were documented as early as 1933. Until 1956, Ferex® was traded under the phrase 'Der starke Arm'('The strong arm') before being registered as a brand name by the then owners of Novaktinchemie and being given the name affix 'der chemische Schraubenschlüssel'('The chemical wrench').

In the years after its founding, Novaktinchemie produced and marketed a variety of different products. Amongst these, the company manufactured a 'pickling inhibitor for the production of rust and limescale removers' in the mid-1960s, as well as a rust converter and car shampoos.

From 1978 until the beginning of the 1990s, Novaktinchemie, which merged into the NolaLack-Chemie Blüchel & Co. KG in 1984, produced nail varnish ranges for well-known brands such as Ellen Betrix, Manhattan, Chicoco or Femia.

By the end of the 1980s, the annual production volume of nail varnishes was over 90 tonnes. In 1987, the company moved from Bonn-Beuel to nearby Swisttal-Heimerzheim.

In August 1994, Nola Lack-Chemie became today's Nola Chemie GmbH.
