Andicor Specialty Chemicals Corporation is a full-service national distributor of specialty chemicals and packaging for the Paint and Coatings, Industrial Specialties (including Building Products, Adhesives and Sealants), and Plastics markets

Andicor’s mission is to be a seamless extension of the suppliers it represents, offering:

• competitively-priced value-added products from some of the world’s leading producers
• superior customer service
• knowledgeable and responsive sales staff
• local warehousing and delivery services

Andicor first began operations in January 2003, representing Chemirco Chemicals (now SI Group Canada), Canada’s leading producer of alkyd resins for the paint and coatings market.

Within months of its inception, Andicor represented a number of key suppliers, which became the foundation for future growth, including Sud-Chemie (rheological and performance additives for the paint, ink, and building products markets, and now part of Southern Clay Products), Fuji-Silysia (micronized silica gels, used primarily as matting agents for coil and wood coatings), and Georgia Industrial Minerals (muscovite mica). Over the following months and years, Andicor added other key suppliers to complement their existing product lines, Rütgers Chemicals (hydrocarbon resins), Wayne Pigment (anticorrosion and tannin stain-inhibiting pigments), and in 2007, Andicor was appointed Canadian distributor of Araldite epoxy resins and Aradur epoxy hardeners from Huntsman Advanced Materials and Eastern Canadian distributor for Chemguard fluorosurfactants.

Andicor expects to continue growing in a controlled manner, ensuring that our existing supplier partners are well-represented before considering others. Late in 2008, Andicor was delighted to announce that it had signed an agreement with BWAY Corporation to be their master distributor in Canada. BWAY is North America's largest manufacturer of general line and round paint cans, as well as the parent of Canada's leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of plastic and steel pails, ICL Industrial Containers. This new relationship will allow Andicor to strengthen its position as Canada's leading national distributor of packaging products, offering a full range of packaging products from ¼ pint tin containers up to 60 gallon plastic openhead drums. Andicor is headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, with warehousing located in key locations across the country, ensuring next-day delivery to virtually their entire customer base.

Andicor is a sales and service-oriented distributor with sales representation across Canada, with the expectation of increasing its sales staff in the near future. At the same time, Andicor employs its own regulatory affairs person to ensure compliance with all government regulations.

Andicor is a member of CACD(Canadian Association of Chemical Distributors) and CPCA (Canadian Paint & Coatings Association). Given the success they have enjoyed in their first 6 years of operation, Andicor is well positioned to reach their goal of becoming one of Canada's leading specialty chemical and packaging product distributors and is committed to Responsible Distribution to ensure that all of our product are handled, and distributed in a safe manner that protects employees and the environment.
