CHEMCENTRAL

February 1, 2004
Distributing Quality Chemicals and Services Worldwide



CHEMCENTRAL began as a one-branch, Chicago-based company, committed and determined to build its reputation as an ethical, professional organization with high-quality products and friendly, dependable service. Since its founding in 1926, CHEMCENTRAL has grown into the largest independent chemical distributing organization in the world.

Through state-of-the-art facilities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Asia Pacific and India, CHEMCENTRAL offers unparalleled experience in the international distribution of quality chemicals. Over the years, we've formed alliances with the top chemical distribution companies in Asia, the United Kingdom, Germany and India to provide customers with easy access to quality specialty and commodity chemicals from leading producers worldwide. These alliances enable CHEMCENTRAL to be a trusted, single-source supplier for quality chemicals.

We've also expanded in cyberspace with a comprehensive, consistently updated Web site, making it easier than ever to check product listings, find pertinent information, learn about our corporate programs, communicate with us, and now order online.

At CHEMCENTRAL we believe knowledge is extremely valuable, and share with our customers the latest product and safety information available. Our extensive database of corporate literature from the world's leading producers is at your service to assist in evaluating product performance in your production process, keeping you at the forefront of industry knowledge.

The CHEMCENTRAL team consists of specialists to address your industry's concerns. Market Development Specialists are available to provide creative solutions to the formulation challenges faced in evolving market segments. Also at your service are our experienced and extremely knowledgeable Technical Sales Representatives. Their anticipation of market trends and application opportunities is unparalleled in our target industries.

What makes CHEMCENTRAL unique is that our total focus is on chemical distribution. We concentrate on a few key industries - adhesives, caulks and sealants; personal care and cosmetics; paint, coatings and inks; rubber and plastic compounding; and Hi&I cleaning - to provide in-depth market knowledge, inventory management and a specialized product mix to serve your needs in these and other markets with outstanding excellence. We offer liquid and solid products, available in bulk, intermediate bulk containers, drums or bags to meet your exact specifications.

Our entire corporate energy is concentrated on increasing the cost-effective efficiency of our Responsible Care and Responsible Distribution functions, including a broad range of ancillary, value-added services. Through our Responsible Care and Responsible Distribution programs, we have been leaders in helping customers properly receive, use, recycle and dispose of chemicals purchased from our plants throughout the world. We strongly believe in and are deeply committed to the long-term benefits of these programs.

All CHEMCENTRAL employees are dedicated to providing the highest quality, most reliable service available.
