APAC’s Journey - Our Story
APAC Sourcing Solutions didn’t begin with a grand plan or a big office. It began with just two people, a single desk, and a shared belief: Asia’s chemical manufacturing strength could support the world — if someone could bridge the gap with honesty, knowledge, and consistency.
There were no investors backing us, no glossy infrastructure, and no ready-made roadmap. What we did have was curiosity, the willingness to learn, and the commitment to build something meaningful one small step at a time. What started as a small export initiative in India slowly transformed into a sourcing organisation supporting customers across the U.S., Canada, Europe, LATAM, and the Middle East.
From day one, we understood that knowledge would be our strongest asset. Instead of racing to scale, we chose to understand. We spent time learning global documentation, compliance requirements, and regulatory expectations. We worked closely with manufacturers who valued quality as much as we did. We built relationships based on transparency — not transactions. And we ensured that every shipment carried not just product, but reliability and trust.
Over the years, these principles shaped APAC into a dependable bridge between Asian manufacturers and global chemical distributors, formulators, blenders, and end users.
Today, that small desk has grown into a global ecosystem —
• 500+ reliable manufacturers across Asia
• 120+ customers around the world
• 7,500+ chemical products & intermediates
• 3,500+ suppliers evaluated and mapped
We are proud to be ISO-certified, EcoVadis-compliant, and members of the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD), reflecting our commitment to responsible, compliant, and documentation-driven sourcing.
One of the defining parts of our journey is that APAC has remained independent and unfunded. We didn’t rely on external capital; we relied on discipline, integrity, market understanding, relationship-building, and unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. Being independent has allowed us to grow at our own rhythm, always prioritising our customers, never compromising on ethics, and staying true to the long-term vision.
But if there is something we value even more than systems and processes, it’s people.
We believe young talent brings new thinking, fresh ideas, and the courage to question old patterns. That’s why APAC actively invests in freshers — guiding, training, and giving them opportunities to grow into confident professionals. Our journey has been shaped by every team member, customer, supplier, and mentor who trusted us long before the world noticed us.
As global sourcing continues to evolve, APAC is also growing — expanding CDMO and custom synthesis capabilities, strengthening compliance-led sourcing, adopting digital supply-chain tools, building multi-country procurement routes, and supporting buyers across both high-cost and low-cost regions.
The world is changing, and so is sourcing. But our mission remains simple:
to connect the world to reliable chemistry through trust, knowledge, and transparency.
We didn’t build APAC with big capital — we built it with belief.
And that belief continues to guide every decision we make.
