Charcoal shots? Protein snackification? Floral oils? Beetroot extract? What's hot tomorrow needs to be here today. As one of sub-Saharan Africa's largest importers of specialty, innovative ingredients, Chempure has been managing and anticipating global trends, innovation, shortages and pricing on behalf of customers, for close on 25 years. We source, market and supply specialty chemicals to the sport nutrition, health and wellness, food and beverages and personal care industries and in this way act as a strategic and trusted partner to some of the world's most illustrious brands. But it's not just leading ingredients we provide, we have the smarts to back up every product in our fit for purpose local warehouse. As your trusted partner, committed to providing innovative solutions as well as specialty ingredients, we are armed with knowledge of current market trends and the ingredients that are poised to become breakout stars - and we pass this on to our customers to help them identify the gap between their current offering and the aspirations of an ever-changing market. Transforming a functional ingredient into a desirable product takes a combination of lab skill and market orientation. Our own inhouse laboratory and technical specialists perform development work, stability testing and basic quality control tests to assist our customers with the necessary guidelines for developing with our ingredients. However, looming large behind us, are the world-class laboratories and R&D houses associated with our principals. All of this expertise is available for our customers.
