The Chemicals sector is a vast one that is central to the current world economy. It has grown from the mass production of sulphuric acid during the first industrial revolution, through the late 19th century boom that saw the proliferation of a large number and variety of manufactured chemicals, to existence of international giant chemical conglomerates of the present day.

The Chemicals division represents one of the core pillars to RDL's business. The RDL Group started sourcing chemicals in China for water treatment projects less than a decade ago and has today established a dependable portfolio of chemical manufacturers in China that produce a variety of chemical products.

The RDL Group has established offices in eight key regions within China. These regional offices work in conjunction with RDL Group subsidiaries within China and provide a support base for clients visiting chemical manufacturing sources.
