Leaders in quality and service

We specialise in the production of Basic Chemicals, Inorganic Specialty Chemicals and Coating Systems. Within these units, we develop a wide range of products that fulfil nearly all the requirements of companies needing chemicals for their manufacturing processes and products.
  • Basic Chemicals such as zinc chemicals, acids or sulphur chemicals, for chemical companies, the metal industry, the hot dip galvanising industry, the electroplating industry, the textile and plastic industries, for water treatment and for the production of food and beverages.
  • Inorganic Specialty Chemicals based on the elements tin, zinc, copper, nickel, bismuth and chrome. These special compounds are used for various purposes in today's high-tech industries. Target markets include electroplating chemicals, automotive, catalysts for coatings and process additives for chemistry and building materials.
  • Coating Systems based on polyurethane and epoxy resin as anticorrosion protection for the pipeline industry, for the valve-making industry and in the construction of sewage works and power plants. Thermal curing systems, such as moulding pastes in the electroplating and tool manufacturing industry and baking varnishes in the packaging industry. Bitumen specialties for use in structural and civil engineering and for road surfaces.

Top quality for high demands

Our products offer a multitude of potentials and advantages, but they have one thing in common: They are of excellent quality. Our main production site is located in Germany, in modern plants operated by our well-trained and highly qualified employees. We have established a quality management system that is directly responsible to the managing board. In Mannheim, we have already been certified to ISO 9001 since 1995. In addition to the external customer audits, we have about 20 internal audits per year. Our quality system guarantees that we continously work for quality improvement, resulting in process optimisation at short notice.

Perfect solutions for individual requirements

Providing advantages in competition for our business partners is the main target of TIB Chemicals. Together with our customers, we develop products exactly fitting their needs, thus increasing the quality of their products and decreasing production costs. For example, we design catalysts that accelerate the reaction process or manufacture products for the protection against corrosion that are also resistant to aggressive environments. Customised applications often require completely new solutions. We design on behalf of our customers. Based on the requests of our customers, our scientific research departments develop products and manufacturing processes for future business success. Our employees are ready to develop on-site for our customers. Thus, we know best how to integrate the newly developed products into the existing manufacturing process.

Flexible deliveries for special cases

We deliver according to the needs of our customer taking advantage of our warehousing policy:
Be it a large or small, standard or specialised delivery, our products will arrive at our partners in the shortest possible time.

The largest production facilities of TIB Chemicals are located in Mannheim (Germany) and San Luis Potosi (Mexico); the sales and marketing organisation operates globally. Customers all over the world appreciate us as a competent, reliable and future-oriented partner.

Smooth logistics in all directions

We are close to our customers. The headquarters of TIB Chemicals is situated in Germany, in the heart of Europe. The location has an excellent infrastructure with a direct connection to the motorway and the ports of Mannheim, one of the biggest inland ports of Europe. We offer our port and rail connections to support our customers who benefit from a secure and punctual, environmentally friendly as well as economical service.

Occupational health and safety standards for a maximum of safety

The welfare of our employees is of highest priority. Occupational health and safety is an essential part of the operational process at TIB Chemicals. Our qualified and trained personnel ensure the safety and well-being of our employees through regular health and safety controls. We make every effort to provide a safe and environmentally friendly working place.

Environmental protection beyond the guidelines

Just to fulfil the high environmental guidelines is not sufficient for us. In addition, we demand from ourselves to always respect nature and to deal as carefully and efficiently as possible with raw materials and energies. Recycling management is of high priority for TIB Chemicals. For example, we extract zinc from zinc-rich stripping solutions and we recycle copper etching solutions coming from our customers in the electronics industry.
We have our own waste disposal depot, which renders the business of recycling for our customers especially economical and cost effective. We manage our own water treatment plant, from which the water is discharged directly into the Rhine. This means we not only take on a high responsibility but we also aim at better production conditions on the background of a modern risk management.

Accelerated growth due to motivated employees

High demands on quality and service, new products and competence motivate our employees who are involved in the business success as shareholders: This is the basis for the positive development of our company. For years now, we have grown considerably with growth rates above the industrial average. With a yearly production of more than 400.000 tons of chemicals, TIB Chemicals generates revenues of over € 100 million.
