80 Years of International Business Experience
The academic network of our founder, Prof. G. Frederick Smith, was not limited to domestic contacts – his connections to the world chemical community helped drive the business forward in its formative years. We have since accumulated the experience needed to expedite the shipment of any GFS product to virtually any destination in the world.
From small packages of organic specialties for the researcher to drums of perchloric acid or rare earths, we’ll work directly with you, or any qualified distributor of your choice, to process your quote inquiry and order in a manner that is as friendly as it is efficient. Our distribution network includes:
· Caledon Laboratories, Ltd. (Canada)
· Fluorochem Ltd. (United Kingdom)
· Hydrus Chemical, Inc. (Japan)
· Productos Quimicos Mty. SA de CV (Mexico)
· ChemPark Inc. (South Korea) for perchloric acid and ceric ammonium nitrate
· Samchun Chemical Co. Ltd. (South Korea)
We handle both air and ocean shipments regularly and routinely, and never charge for export documentation as other companies might. Consider the full sum of the advantages GFS has to offer:
- Competitive manufacturer’s pricing worldwide
- Sales accounts in over 65 countries
- Dedicated technical support for every major product line
- Dedicated sales and service staff for prompt e-mail and phone correspondence
