Responsible care in chemicals

We offer an all-inclusive chemicals management service for bulk chemicals in plants and works classified as Major Hazard Installations (MHI) from procurement logistics, storage, dispensing operations, plant equipment maintenance through to environmentally sustainable effluent disposal. We reduce the risk of handling dangerous goods so that our clients can concentrate on their core business.

Chemicals, even hazardous ones, are very useful in the upliftment of livelihoods of our communities if handled with responsible care. We partner with our clients in co- creating environmentally sustainable best practice processes to unlock the economic potential of natural resources.
