Please see below for more information regarding Alfa’s logistics department.

Stocking policy

Alfa Chemicals holds stock of a wide range of regularly sold chemicals at its UK warehouse. The standard lead time for stock items is guaranteed delivery within 5 working days, express delivery guarantees delivery within 2 working days. Non-stock items are brought in to order; lead times vary depending on the manufacturer. To help reduce lead times for non-stock items we can arrange to hold stock of customer specific materials, provided that the demand is covered by a call-off order.

Warehousing

Alfa Chemicals has its own warehouse in Reading, Berkshire. The warehouse facility has approval for handling hazardous and restricted chemicals and has been approved by independent auditors from customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Freight partners

Alfa Chemicals uses specialist chemical freight companies that have experience in handling hazardous materials. The partners we use have been pre-approved by our logistics and quality managers and have a long track record of working with Alfa.

Surfex 2010 review

7/7/2010 4:28:15 PM

Speciality additives prove the winner at Surfex as we see a high number of enquiries from the event.

As a regular visitor to Surfex I've always known the show to be one of the quieter ones on the calender, so deciding to exhibit took some justification. However we were pleasantly surprised. We had a much larger number of enquiries then expected, some with very interesting potential. Don't get me wrong the show was still quiet but those who did attend were interested in Alfa and the speciality additives on show.

Our enquiries were mainly for new speciality products offered by

These proved a hit with our visitors and provided us with many more enquiries to follow up then we anticipated. So was it worthwhile exhibiting? Time will tell if we see sales from these enquiries, but in terms of raising our profile it was successful.

We also attended the Kaleidoscope dinner with some of our business partners and customers, it was good especially considering the last minute change of venue that threatened the event, when the Majestic hotel went up in flames only a few weeks before the event!
