We hold extensive stocks in our UK warehouse and when needed we can maintain stock to customer forecasts/call-offs, helping to reduce lead times and customer inventory. Our sales and distribution teams offer customers a flexible and responsive service to their special requirements. Across the whole company we are customer focused in the service we provide.
We are not just a distributor – we are a full service partner. Our expert technical team offers formulation development, sampling, testing and regulatory advice from their in-house lab in Urmston near Manchester.
To our principals we offer a close and open partnership. Each principal has a product manager within Chemlink Specialities who champions their business and works closely with them to manage mutual growth. We work hard to develop long term advantage for our principals’ products within our markets. Within our business plan we always aim to build a product base of broadly complimentary chemistries and limit product overlap between principals.
