Business model
AIC works with international manufacturers and technology owners who want a route into this region.
Several forms of cooperation, across several territories, through a company that manufactures, imports and sells in the market it would be representing you in.
For manufacturers and technology owners
If you make something and need somebody to carry it here, this is the part of the site for you.
The rest of this website is written for customers who buy from Advance International Chemicals. This section is written for the opposite party: the manufacturer, trading house, toll blender or technology owner who wants AIC to sell, make or represent something on their behalf.
AIC has been manufacturing and trading specialty chemicals since 1975, and the arrangements below are the ones it already operates. What is set out here is the shape of the business — the forms of cooperation available, the territories covered, and the range of activities and products. Commercial terms are not published. They are discussed with a named counterparty once a conversation has begun.

Laboratories, engineers, warehousing and the import machinery, already in place.
A partner does not start from nothing here. The formulation and application laboratories, the technical sales engineers, the field coverage from five locations, the warehousing, the import and clearing arrangements and the regulatory capability all exist and are already in use for AIC's own products.

AIC also supplies outward, on export, contract-manufacturing or private-label terms.
The relationship does not have to run one way. AIC manufactures MANSON screen printing inks and allied systems, industrial coatings and varnishes, adhesives and sealants, and formulated blends and repacked grades — all of which can be supplied to a partner's own market.
