CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS

Malaysia's chemical solutions industry comprises a diverse range of companies, many of which fall into distinct categories of operation.

Companies generally fall into two main categories:

Factory (Manufacturer)

These companies own and operate production facilities where they synthesize, formulate, or blend chemical products from raw materials. They are involved in the actual production process, often investing in research and development, quality control, and large-scale manufacturing infrastructure.

Trader (Distributor)

These companies do not manufacture chemicals themselves. Instead, they procure chemical products from various manufacturers (local or international) and then distribute, market, and sell them to end-users or other businesses. Their value lies in logistics, supply chain management, technical support, and providing a comprehensive range of products from multiple sources.

It is also very common for companies to operate as a hybrid, performing both manufacturing/formulation and trading/distribution activities.
