Chemelco International

Since 1965 we have been sourcing food ingredients, raw materials and chemicals to customers mainly in the Caribbean region. In the year 2000, Chemelco International BV became a private liability company and with it, new opportunities came. A shift in market trends and customer needs, required a rethinking of our product portfolio. That’s when we started diversifying towards more specialty ingredients that would provide clear added value to our customers. Behind Chemelco there is a strong team of international professionals who strive every day to bring healthy products to make better food and sustainable solutions for people and the environment. A clever combination of product expertise, understanding of where the opportunities are and being open to changes, allows us to remain flexible and offer the best materials to our customers. We have local stock in our different markets so we can meet prompt demand for these materials. Among our customers we count with well-known multinational producers and regional key-players from the food and chemical industries. Our dedicated team of food technologists and global principals work together with customers, providing valuable advice to make healthier solutions, while improving ‘cost-in-use’. Together we bring a complete portfolio of ingredients for a wide range of applications, including bio-based materials and circular ingredients as part of the growing ‘circular’ economies. We work daily from 5 offices around the world to bring innovative ingredients to our main markets in the Caribbean, South Africa and Central America. With the products we offer we aim at improving the quality of life of people today and in the future.
