Our Timeline
1999
123 Roberts Street, Port of Spain.
Interchem began its operations at Robert Street, Port of Spain with less than five (5) employees in a 2,000 square foot facility. Through vision, commitment and passion, our CEO created the solid foundation on which we stand today. By sourcing unique product lines through exhaustive market research to target the needs of customers, the Specialty Chemical Division was born. Developing relationships with key suppliers placed us on a higher level and Interchem’s Specialty chemical line and Janitorial type chemicals changed how companies in Trinidad and Tobago viewed us in the market. Brands like Amrep, Corrosion X, GE Silicones, ZOK, and the evolving market for environmentally friendly products, allowed Simple Green, the number one product in this sector, to place Interchem in the limelight as a very dependable service oriented company.
The acceptance of SimpleGreen Cleaner/Degreaser allowed Interchem to forge long standing relationships with industrial customers and outlets both large and small giving us an added advantage for growth. An increased customer base resulted in a larger demand for product putting constraints on our limited physical resources. This development made our next decision easier.
2001
Fernandez Compound
In 2001 Interchem moved to an 8,000 square foot facility at Fernandez Compound. This gave us much needed warehouse space and easy access to our products in one location. With new employees joining our team, new markets opened up and Interchem targeted the Oil Field sector and launched the Construction Division. Interchem’s increased focus in the Industrial sector brought a major account onboard in 2002. Bringing on the Sika brand and another key supplier in Janitorial supplies, the growth of Interchem was moving forward at a steady pace.
2004 to Present
9th Avenue South, Barataria
In 2004 Interchem moved to an even larger facility, located at 9th Avenue South, Barataria. With two divisions, Specialty Chemicals and Construction, the need for further diversification was evident and the research and development process continued.
2008 to Present
Our Welding and Industrial, Fire Protection and Janitorial Divisions…..
In 2008 the decision to sell the Construction Division was made and two new divisions were formed and launched, the Fire Protection Division and the Welding Division. With this expansion, the varied product lines were tailored to the suit the needs of customers. Interchem launched “TITAN” a new line of customized portable Fire Extinguishers to meet the market standards giving clients exceptional value for their money. A full service department was established ensuring continued activity and backup for this brand, adding a variety of related products. We became distributors for both Miller Electric and Angus Fire further strengthening our market presence for these divisions.
Throughout the years Interchem’s success kept moving in the right direction with our continuous range of products developing every day. Since inception we have been carrying Janitorial supplies targeting certain needs within that niche market and have now developed a Janitorial Division with access to numerous product brands.
Growth and Progress
Presently with over thirty employees and five divisions, we have grown to service the needs of our demanding market and will continue to do so in years to come.
