Chemical Trading Ltd.

- Chemtrade
Background

The Saudi Company of Chemical Trading Ltd. (Chemtrade) is a Reza Investment majority owned company. It’s a
chemical distribution enterprise established in 1979 to cater to the chemical raw material needs of the fast-growing
industrial sector in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.  Chemtrade was established by three Saudi family owned
companies and in collaboration for management with Mobil Saudi Arabia (now ExxonMobil). The management
collaboration with Mobil Saudi Arabia ended in 2000, and today Reza Investment, the majority shareholder, manages
the company.

The shareholders of Chemtrade as well as Mobil Saudi Arabia went on to establish in the mid 1980s  Arabian
Chemical Terminals ( ACT ), the first commercial liquid chemical bulk storage terminal in Saudi Arabia. ACT
commissioned its first terminal in 1987 in Yanbu on the Western coast of Saudi Arabia. This allowed Chemtrade to
import and distribute liquid chemicals in bulk form. Chemtrade remains today the only chemical distribution company
with bulk liquid capability in Saudi Arabia. Mobil (now ExxonMobil ) exited from its part ownership in 2002 and ACT
today is managed by Reza Investment Company, the majority stakeholder. ACT has commissioned its second bulk
liquid chemical terminal in Jubail, on the Eastern coast of Saudi Arabia.

Products and services

Chemtrade specialises in the distribution of both liquid and solid chemicals to industries using these chemicals as raw
materials in their production. The company has specialized warehouses across Saudi Arabia from which it can
service its customers quickly and efficiently. Industries/sectors served include refineries, petro-chemicals, flexible
foam, electrical transformers, plastics, cables, paints, and waterproofing, among various other industries.

Chemtrade has exclusive distribution agreements with multinationals in these sectors, such as Exxon Mobil, Bayer
Material Science and Nynas Naphthenics.  It plays a key role in helping many of its customers to compete
successfully in distant and highly competitive markets, such as the USA and South America, by providing cost
effective logistics for their chemical raw material needs.

chemical requirements in an efficient, reliable, cost effective, and above all safe manner and thereby saving
