Blending and mixing capabilities are important, but when it comes to manufacturing your chemical products, it’s crucial to consider where you manufacture your products and how it will affect your business operations and supply chain. This is because the location of your manufacturing facility (or facilities) can have a substantial impact on transportation costs, delivery times and logistics optimization.
This is why the right contract chemical manufacturer can play a huge role in your organization’s profitability and success. Contract chemical manufacturers not only provide the chemical blending and mixing capabilities you need but can also give you access to manufacturing facilities that increase supply chain efficiency, improve the reliability of your logistics operation and expand your market reach so you can grow and better service your customers.

Royal Chemical also offers same-day shipping for various stocked materials to help you further streamline your operations.
Lower Logistics and Supply Costs
With manufacturing facilities closer to your end customers, you can significantly reduce shipping expenses and improve profit margins. Shorter delivery routes mean less fuel consumption and less money spent transporting your products.
However, the cost savings don’t stop there. Having a nationwide footprint and access to Atlantic and Pacific ports ensures raw materials don’t need to travel far to reach production sites, further reducing shipping distances and supply costs. Royal Chemical also works with over 450 suppliers to source more than 1,500 quality materials at great prices.
Improved Supply Chain Durability
Having multiple manufacturing facilities also increases the resiliency of your logistics operation. For example, if one of Royal Chemical’s facilities went down because of a weather-related incident, one of our other facilities could step in to compensate and minimize production and delivery disruptions.
In other words, partnering with Royal Chemical allows you to increase the durability of your supply chain without the cost of owning or maintaining multiple facilities.
