Sourcing, marketing and distributing specialty chemicals from China, India and Russia. These products are used in industries as varied as tyres, resins for coatings and foundry, and pharma. We are continuously seeking to extend our range with items manufactured by only a few producers for niche markets. 

List of products. We also list a few products here that are actually recovered from side streams.

Creating value out of byproducts. We are always interested to learn about side and waste streams containing valuables.

Single supplier specialty chemicals. We are also attracted by products which have only one or two producer(s) in the world. For those ‘single supplier’ or ‘monopoly’- products we seek to become the second producer.

We successfully developed a range of quaternary phosphonium compounds which are sold worldwide. This business was acquired from us by Dishman of India at the end of 2002.

We are partner in a EUREKA project – supported by our Government – aimed at creating very large-scale uses for the increasing amounts of glycerin coproduced with biodiesel. The first project is about producing t-butyl ethers of glycerin (GTBE) that find use as soot-reducing additives in (bio) diesel fuels.
