For over 20 years, Sara/Somochem have been indispensable partners in our journey. When we were a young organization, they supported us with the right materials and essential credit facilities. We attribute a significant part of our success to their unwavering support and partnership.
Somochem kept our factory running 24/7 during the challenging times of COVID-19. Big thanks to their dedicated team! They always have additional material on hand 'just in case' our demand increases.
Their proactive approach ensures we are never caught off guard.
Somochem is a very approachable and helpful organization. They are always just a phone call away whenever we need advice on technology, machine selection, repairs, or materials.
At Samrex Global, limited storage and delayed procurement were major challenges. Somochem provided just-in-time delivery of ExxonMobil materials, helping us stay on schedule. Their responsiveness and strong partnership have been crucial to our success.
At H4 Plast, we were constantly battling unreliable suppliers — late deliveries, fluctuating quality, and the constant worry that production might stop at any moment.
Then we started working with Somochem. They didn’t just bring reliability back to our supply chain; they also took the time to understand our needs and offered expert advice on optimizing materials. And when issues came up (as they always do), their team handled it quickly and professionally, so we never lost momentum.
Now, we’re confident in our operations and can plan ahead, knowing Somochem has our back.
We are proud to have strategic supplier partnerships with some of the world's biggest polymers and chemical manufacturers. These partnerships allow us to offer our customers a diverse range of high-quality products.
