In recent years, Intercom Chemicals has undergone a profound evolution, a transformation that has led the company to change its skin, from a simple distributor of chemical products to a genuine indirect producer of resins and phenolic moulding compounds with proprietary recipes.
Today, the company, which boasts a consolidated position in the Italian market, has embarked on a process of expansion into new, fast-growing markets. Following the opening of a sales office in Dubai, Intercom Chemicals is launching several partnerships in China and Turkey to develop ad hoc solutions and market the proprietary brands Lerite®, TechPhen® and TechPox®.
But what are the advantages of choosing an indirect manufacturer with its own recipes over a classic manufacturer or a simple distributor?
Let's discover together 6 good reasons to rely on Intercom Chemicals.
Double quality control
By producing our branded products, TechPhen® and Lerite®, in third-party plants under our own formulations, the scrupulous controls take place twice: the first test is carried out by the manufacturer, selected according to high quality standards; the second takes place within our own laboratories. In this way, we are able to guarantee solutions of optimum calibre.
Customisation means endless possibilities
To position itself as a valuable partner, it is essential to offer the market a wide range of efficient and effective products. Thanks to TechPhen® and Lerite®, Intercom Chemicals is able to meet the needs of a wide range of markets, from the abrasives industry to foundry, from refractories to automotive and more, as the formulations are adaptable by our in-house R&D team, offering virtually endless development possibilities.
Support, flexibility and tailor-made packages
What sets Intercom Chemicals apart is service. Guaranteeing maximum product availability and support, flexibility in managing the relationship with our partners, and punctuality in terms of both supplies and payments, are the characteristics that the market recognises and for which we have always been appreciated.
In partnership with our customers, we also offer the possibility of building ad hoc sales packages around their needs, with professional technical support in the case of new projects. This translates into no minimum quantity to buy, but a continuous and punctual availability of all materials required by the company, which can benefit from a product that is always fresh and therefore with the highest possible yield.
Experience and market knowledge
We have been working in the abrasives industry directly for many years, so we can boast a deep technical knowledge of the needs of the sector, which sets us apart from other direct producers. Our in-house technical sales team is supported by a number of external consultants specialising in certain industry categories, professionals who work with Intercom Chemicals on an ongoing basis and who enable us to offer an impeccable service in a wide range of sectors.
Keeping up with the times (and needs) thanks to our in-house R&D team
Intercom Chemicals has an in-house laboratory and an R&D team of chemists and sales people who are constantly working on new products to meet the needs of an ever-changing market. It is the sales team that receives input from the various sectors supplied and, in a team effort to provide timely and concrete solutions, the R&D department creates new high-performance products. A successful example of this approach is the Lerite® Rice patent.
Certifications and sustainability
Intercom Chemicals boasts ISO 9001:2005 certification, which guarantees safe, quality service and products. Another certification obtained by the company is PEFC, Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes, which certifies the use of wood from sustainably managed forests for certain formulations. This is a fundamental aspect for Intercom Chemicals: despite the fact that its reference sector is the chemical industry, the company has long been committed to researching and producing solutions that have less and less impact on the environment.
In recent years, this commitment to the planet has been reflected in the company's support for Treedom, which allows people to plant trees from a distance and follow online the history of the projects that these crops help in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Italy.
