Chemical Solutions
Our solutions range from sourcing critical raw materials and ingredients, logistic support, material processing, supply chain readiness as well as an industry technology resource for custom blending to product development.
Sourcing
The combined expertise in strategic sourcing has enabled us to build a strong alliance of reputable manufacturers, especially in emerging specialized markets such as lithium, magnesium and silica based technologies. Through these long-standing relationships, we are able to source hard-to-find specialty chemicals, ingredients and additives for the latest innovative applications and trends. We are unique as many of our core raw materials are vertically integrated as feedstocks used in producing many of the specialty performance materials in our portfolio provide .
• Established, supplier relationships
• Trading offices in countries or origin to qualify materials
• More cost-effective raw material pricing
• Strategic alternate chemical sources
• Experience in securing supply agreements, off takes and production allocations.
Importing / Exporting
Expertise in importing / exporting materials goes far beyond moving materials from one
dock to the next, it requires the “know-how” and the “how” of doing it. As global trade
experts, we are experienced in materials, procedures and regulations, offering a truly
integrated supply structure across a wide network of producers ( Asia Pacific, Oceania
Middle East and Europe).
• Take over the responsibility of shipping various types of chemicals (including hazmat)
• Coordination and timely export of shipments
• Managing the administrative burden of import rules and regulations.
• Extensive experience with CBP procedures
• Firm knowledge of FDA, EPA, DEA requirements
• Strict compliance with hazmat DOT regulations
Bulk Terminals, Warehousing, Distribution & Logistics
From break bulk, silos, tankers, containers to less-than truckloads quantities, we aim to fulfill our customers’ needs no matter the circumstances. We offer complete intermodal logistics support for direct container deliveries from seaport or rail head, as well as local distribution from warehouses in proximity to our customers.
• Bulk packaging (drums, totes, ISO tanks, etc.)
• FCL deliveries from port or LTL from warehouse
• Intermodal freight options via truck, rail or air.
Inventory Readiness / Stocking Points
We work with our customers, keeping an array of specialty materials with
on-the-ground (OTG) ready stock that fills the gap between direct drops.
This allows us to offer customers the potential for consolidating material
from regional locations in the United States. We strive to maintain speed,
efficiency and continuity of supply of critical materials by ensuring quick
turnarounds and off-the-shelf deliveries as for when you need it with key
regional warehouses strategically located across the country.
