History

The club was founded on 27 June 1973 under the name "A.S. Chimistul Râmnicu Vâlcea".[1] It was part of a sports program initiated by the local chemical company (now Oltchim).[1] Its first coach was Constantin Cinca. Under his guidance, the team moves from the 3rd division to 2nd division in 1980.[1] Two seasons later, under its new coach Constantin Popescu, the team advances to the Liga Naţională.[1]

On 1 October 1989, the club's name is changed to "CSM Oltchim Râmnicu Vâlcea".[1] The existing name will be later given on 1 May 1997, when the club became a private club.[1]

On June 25, 2013, the City Council voted for the abolition of the club. It will form a new team will be called HC Oltenia. It's unsure yet if HC Oltenia will use Oltchim's record or not.
