Our company

From inventory warehousing to documentation, we meet and surpass our customers needs.

Andes Chemical Corp. is a provider of specialty chemicals throughout Latin America. We seek to utilize pioneering solutions and logistics and have become a preferred partner for our customers and suppliers. Our state-of-the-art, 40,000 square-foot distribution and warehouse facilities in Miami are fully owned and operated by Andes Chemical, which ensures that orders can be handled promptly, without requiring third parties. Beyond the basics of filling orders, Andes Chemical oversees the entire supply chain, including inventory warehousing, freight consolidation, freight forwarding and expert handling of any required international shipping documentation. Developed during the past 30 years, our regional market knowledge and expertise is second to none. While logistics is what Andes Chemical does, the company’s true identity is innovation. It is our goal to work alongside customers and solve their challenges with efficiency, progressive solutions and quality products. This approach is what makes Andes Chemical stand out.

GROW TO SERVE

Andes Chemical Corp continues to solidify its presence in the Central American and Caribbean regions, by setting up regional distribution centers with local warehousing capabilities. Andes Chemical Centro America has commenced operations in San Jose, Costa Rica, followed by the startup of Andes Chemical Dominicana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Both entities have begun operating with great potential, already gaining momentum, as the customer feedback has been very encouraging and positive. Establishing these companies has allowed Andes Chemical to achieve a mix of increased local presence and improved distribution channels through regional hubs. With these locations, we will be able to facilitate logistics for our current customers, and better serve a more diverse customer base through the advantages of localization. “Just as Andes Chemical Peru has been growing rapidly since its commencement in 2013, we are expecting the new locations to grow with the same level of success,” says Fernando J. Espinosa, Andes Chemical Corp President. “The two new subsidiaries will strengthen our already solid business in the region, while also allowing the company to expand into new end-use markets.”
