Overseas Factory Shutdown? RCI Can Help


cf9e679d2327b25274bbf2d35f512b3d.jpg

China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) recently implemented a crackdown on tens of thousands of non-compliant industrial factories under the country’s revamped environmental policies. Factory shutdowns- on a region by region basis- have occurred over the past 21 months and will continue for the foreseeable future.

With production halted in many of China's factories while upgrades to pollution and waste treatment controls proceeded, major disruptions in the custom manufacturing and sourcing supply chain emerged. Both pricing and lead time uncertainty increased for raw materials, intermediates, and final products . Recent explosions at foreign chemical plants have further aggravated supply chain disruptions . Richman Chemical Inc. (RCI)- with its North American-focused custom synthesis and manufacturing capacity- can alleviate supply chain obstacles for its customers!

Utilizing on-shoring options for custom synthesis and manufacturing outsourcing requirements offers immediate benefits! For many chemical and pharmaceutical processing efforts, the pricing gap between Chinese production and domestic manufacturing has diminished. Further, domestic outsourcing minimizes risk associated with third-party placement of important and sensitive technology, as this option certainly affords more direct control.

Richman Chemical is actively addressing these supply issues! Approximately 90% of RCI's custom synthesis and manufacturing activities- including chemical sourcing efforts- are done domestically. Dedicated project managers ensure that chemical and pharmaceutical client deliverables- includes proof of concept verification, product development, pilot scale-up, and full-blown commercialization- exceed expectations.
