Introduction: How Supply Challenges Can Prevent You From Becoming a Leading Chemical Supplier

Our customer, a CEO from Brazil, operates a chemical company that supplies Dicalcium Phosphate to factories and different places. His business in Brazil has been successful but with a larger potential for growth, they seek to expand their resources. As a CEO, he was often busy with work and had to find solutions to boost sales in his company.

    • At his current state in Brazil, there were also some challenges in obtaining a specific chemical he needed which was Dicalcium Phosphate

Local raw material shortage

Our client had issues finding sustainable sources of raw Dicalcium Phosphate, as his environment did not provide enough.

High local tax & production costs

The customer struggled with the expensive costs of creating DCP in his country, as the local taxes were unreasonable for his production, thus, he looked for cheaper and more comprehensive options.

Quality control issues

The quality of DCP created in his area was not up to the standard he wanted, as the raw material was not good enough. Customers struggled with getting the right quality chemicals.

CAMAL identified the ideal DCP factory to provide the client with high-quality chemicals, enhancing their reputation for excellence in the industry

With these challenges, our customer sought a company in China that offers cost-efficient production of DCP but also had no time to find the right and legitimate company.

    • He struggled on his own to find suppliers who offered high quality and large quantities of DCP as he didn’t know how to trust the different companies.
    • He needed an alternative fast as the DCP in Brazil was too hard to obtain and too expensive!

Customers Overwhelmed By Too Many Suppliers to Verify:
