(a)
Traceable
Every drum carries its history: origin, lot, test results and the name of the chemist who released it.
(b)
Patient
We would rather hold a shipment for a day than ship a batch we are not sure of. Our customers have never minded.
(c)
Collaborative
Application labs in all three hubs, where our formulators work on your brief as if it were their own.
First GMP warehouse
Temperature-mapped storage and an in-house QC lab bring pharmacopoeial testing under our own roof.
Rotterdam hub
An EU base and full REACH registration open the door to European formulators.
Cosmetic actives
A dedicated beauty division, with an application lab that formulates alongside customers.
Singapore
A third hub to serve South-East Asia and Oceania with two-week lead times.
Packaging programme
Primary packaging joins the catalogue — PCR resins, refillables and mono-material formats.
