Actikem provides the UK and European chemical industry with a high-performance alternative to in-house operational management through our dedicated non-core chemical processing services.
By outsourcing non-core chemical activities, businesses can successfully transition away from the logistical and regulatory complexities that often hinder internal productivity and growth.
This strategic shift allows your organisation to effectively de-risk operations and reduce fixed costs, ensuring that internal talent and resources remain focused on primary activities that drive revenue and innovation.
Actikem also acts as a seamless extension of your technical team, providing a talent-as-a-service model that eliminates the HR overhead and recruitment challenges associated with maintaining highly specialised chemical technicians and regulatory experts.
Whether you are looking to scale up production or simplify your existing workflow, our bespoke chemical processing service for powders and liquids is engineered to provide the lean, agile operation required in today’s volatile economic landscape.
Comprehensive Technical Capabilities for Powders and Liquids
The versatility of our onsite production plant allows us to offer a broad range of chemical processing services under one roof, catering to everything from bulk tankers to individual sample bottles.
We specialise in the handling and processing of various chemical types and industrial products, including surfactants, pigments, and polymer dispersions, including but not limited to acrylics, SBR, and vinyl acetates. Our repacking and decanting services are designed to accommodate many packaging sizes including IBCs and drums, using UN-approved packaging for all hazardous goods to ensure maximum safety.
Beyond simple repacking, our processing capabilities extend to bespoke dilutions and chemical blending for both hazardous and non-hazardous products. By utilising our UK-based dilution service, companies can significantly reduce the environmental and financial costs of transporting diluted products, allowing for greater flexibility and shorter lead times.
Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance at Every Stage
Operating from an ISO 9001:2015 certified site, Actikem maintains a robust and well-documented quality management system that ensures every batch meets stringent industry standards.
Our services can help take the administrative and legal burden of regulatory compliance off your shoulders providing a solution to UK REACH and safety regulations.
Our quality management follows a continuous improvement cycle, giving customers the assurance that their products are high-quality, well-documented, and consistent.
This dedication to precision is matched by our focus on confidentiality, with all custom formulas and processes protected by non-disclosure agreements, ensuring your intellectual property remains secure while we execute complex manufacturing tasks on your behalf.
Sustainable Non Core Processing For Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability is central to our business philosophy, and we have integrated carbon reduction and environmental stewardship into the heart of our processing operations.
Actikem is a proud recipient of the Ecovadis Gold Medal and is officially recognised as a bluesign® SYSTEM PARTNER, reflecting our commitment to safe chemical management and the proactive removal of hazardous substances from the supply chain.
We actively support the Chemical Industry Association’s Responsible Care programme, ensuring that our operations have the highest regard for safety, resource productivity and emissions control.
Our sustainable initiatives extend to our packaging solutions, where we offer customers the choice of using recycled plastic IBCs that are exempt from the Plastic Packaging Tax. These multi-layer containers prioritise both the planet and product purity, allowing our partners to meet their own sustainability targets without compromising on quality.
We believe that the chemistry of the future must be as responsible as it is effective, and our management programmes are designed to drive continuous improvement of our environmental footprint.
