HISTORY
Tiger Chemical Company
began trading in October 1989 as an importer of chemical raw materials.
The activities of the company expanded significantly over the first
five years to a point where over 300 items are regularly sold on an
ex-stock basis. Products were principally imported from Asia but expansion
of product range over the past few years has seen increasing quantities
of product coming from Europe, the Middle East and the U.S.A.
OBJECTIVES
It is the policy
of Tiger Chemicals to provide a superior standard of service to our
customers. As Tiger Chemicals begins a new five year plan Australia
will move out of recession resulting in accelerated growth for the company.
It is the intention of management never to compromise our standard of
service as the business expands Through planning and good logistics
management, Tiger Chemicals will continue to outperform our competitors
in the market place.
SERVICE
The main factor
behind the continued expansion of Tiger Chemicals is service. Senior
management personally oversee the processing of each customers' order.
This has significantly reduced supply lead times to a point where over
95% of all ex-stock sales are delivered the following day after the
order has been placed. Customers purchasing items on an indent basis
are kept informed as to the shipping schedule and expected delivery
date of their order. This "hands on" approach to service has
enabled Tiger Chemicals to become well regarded in the industry as a
reliable supplier of raw materials.

and procedures are in place at Tiger Chemicals which conform to our
customers individual requirements. This ensures that Tiger Chemicals
only distributes materials sourced from Quality Assured suppliers. In
addition to this, the management of Tiger Chemicals come from technical
backgrounds within the Chemical Industry segments where our customers
operate. This ensures a common sense approach to the supply of quality
raw materials. The staff at Tiger Chemical Company are well trained
in the nature of each product together with its application.
