ALDRICH CHEMICAL CORP Company Introduction

Aldrich Chemical Corp. is historically a renowned brand in the chemical industry, primarily known for supplying high-quality research chemicals. It is now a part of Sigma-Aldrich, which itself is a subsidiary of Merck KGaA, a leading global science and technology company. In India, the operations under the Sigma-Aldrich brand (including the Aldrich product line) represent a significant presence in the life science and high-tech materials sectors.

The company provides a broad portfolio of products, including chemicals, reagents, laboratory equipment, and services, catering to various industries such as research and development, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics. They support scientific discovery and production with a vast catalog of more than 300,000 products, serving academic institutions, government agencies, and industrial customers across India. Their activities in India include sales, marketing, distribution, and also significant manufacturing and research and development capabilities.

Factory or Trader

Aldrich Chemical Corp., as part of Sigma-Aldrich and Merck KGaA, functions as both a manufacturer (factory) and a trader/distributor.

They manufacture a range of chemicals, reagents, and specialized products in their own facilities globally, including some operations within India. These manufacturing sites produce substances used in various scientific and industrial applications.

Simultaneously, they act as a comprehensive trader and distributor. They source and supply a vast catalog of chemicals and laboratory products from their own manufacturing sites as well as from other producers worldwide, consolidating them under the trusted Sigma-Aldrich brand for global distribution, including across India. Therefore, they operate as a vertically integrated entity that both produces and distributes a wide array of scientific products.

ALDRICH CHEMICAL CORP, now part of MilliporeSigma, is a global supplier of a vast array of chemicals and laboratory products. While it has a strong sales and distribution presence in India, it does not typically manufacture its core Aldrich branded chemicals from a specific "Indian ALDRICH CHEMICAL CORP" manufacturing facility. Rather, its global product portfolio is sold in India.
