Understanding the Petrochemical Industry

SOLVOCHEM recognises that the key to continuity and betterment lies in the human resources available both within the company and its affiliation with other industries.

The excellent communication channels that it has established with its diverse clients and suppliers throughout the many years manifest this.

SOLVOCHEM boasts the ability to anticipate and quickly respond to market changes by using intimate knowledge of various countries and people. This is proven by the company’s success in the sale and distribution of various raw materials to a large number of industries in the Mediterranean area, the Middle East and Africa. Major manufacturers are becoming reliant on large distributors who are able to penetrate and to sell their products into new and often difficult markets mostly overseas.

Such a task has historically fallen to enterprising individuals and companies; people with personal resources, the capability to communicate with different cultures, the willingness to explore new areas, the breadth of vision to perceive a need, and most important of all, the ability to meet that demand.

SOLVOCHEM understands that every task it tackles is a challenge with its own problems, but it also offers its own opportunities.

Whether they involve finance, distribution, transport resources or simply the personal touch of confidence and dependability required to maintain close relationships with customers in one of the most difficult and volatile markets in the world.
