Planet Chemicals Pte Ltd was established in early 2003 with the purpose of identifying specialty chemicals typically supplied by chemical companies from Europe and the Americas and having these replaced by products manufactured in lower cost countries in Asia, such as China and India. The value which we add to the supply chain is the on the ground evaluation of production facilities in these countries, working only with production facilities that offer very competitive cost structures without compromising on lot to lot quality consistency. Where appropriate, we do also provide technological inputs to these plants to help them improve their product quality or process capability. In some cases we also buy up production capacities from plants and assume responsibility for the maintenance of product quality as well as selling of the plant capacity.
