Leading in de-icing
Since 1996, Aerochem has been supplying
chemical support products to the aviation industry
in Scandinavia.
Aerochem is mostly recognised for supplying
de-icing fluids for aircrafts.
Today, the company has a turnover of
approximately 130 million SEK and is the market leader
in Scandinavia.
Aerochem delivers to airports
in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
The Norwegian market is served by
the wholly-owned subsidiary Aerochem AS.
In-house production – for safety’s sake
To satisfy the aviation industry’s obvious requirements
in terms of quality, security of supply and planning horizon,
we have a new production plant at Uddevalla since 2012.
This means that large stock volumes are available
at a short distance from our customers and
that our supply capability is very high.
Expertise and experience
With more than 40 year’s experience of the sector,
Aerochem has thorough knowledge of chemicals
for the aviation industry, of how to handle the products
and of delivery-related logistics.
Training and the transfer of knowledge are
a natural and integral part of
the delivery commitment to our customers.
Logistic process
Besides the knowledge of support chemicals
for the aviation industry and their requirements,
the business depends on a solid knowledge of logistics.
Aerochem can offer customers a total concept -
from handling, transportation and storage to
tank monitoring and automatic deliveries.
ABOUT DE-ICING FLUIDS
De-icing fluids, used to remove ice and prevent
ice formation on the wings of aircraft,
are unclassified fluids and are considered harmless.
