Zulchem

General information

Zulchem was established 1978 in Empangeni when Mr W.J. Knoetze identified a need for a supplier of industrial cleaning detergents and chemicals to hospitals, hotels, factories, garages and schools. In 1991 Mr Knoetze was joined by his sons, Anton and Deon, to head up operations/admin and sales/marketing respectively.

In 2007 Zwchew Services cc t/a ZULCHEM was created to incorporate Anton and Deon into the official ownership structure. The company now occupies a 300m2 under cover site in Empangeni Rail and employs 11 staff members.
Today the company is a leading supplier of cleaning detergents, chemicals and associated paper products to all major companies in Zululand.
We have been manufacturing chemicals and supplying cleaning services for over 40 years in the greater Zululand area and have recently opened a branch in Ballito to expand our services. Zulchem specializes in Hygiene and Domestic Chemicals. All chemicals are manufactured according to specification and M.S.D.S. forms. We also have a range Soap and Paper Dispensers for washrooms and kitchens.
As a private family owned business our commitment has always been on service and quality. No customer is less important than another and no order is too big or too small. Training form an integral part of daily routine and the upliftment of all personnel is the ultimate goal. In-house and other training courses are of utmost importance to ensure a productive and stable workforce. The result is consistency and quality throughout our product range.
In addition to our range of chemical cleaning products we also stock dispensers, paper products and cleaning equipment. Our chemical cleaning products are manufactured to formulae that have been proven safe, effective and competitive. With advances in technology the products have evolved to become perfect for their purposes.
We take pride in delivering most of the orders we receive on the same day with our fleet of delivery vehicles and dedicated personnel.
