ABOUT US.
At Mandlachem, we pride ourselves on being a South African leader in the development and supply of high-performance chemical solutions—specifically engineered to meet the demanding needs of high-speed food and beverage manufacturing environments.
Our greatest strength lies in our deep-rooted commitment to research, development, and technical excellence. Years of hands-on R&D, combined with real-world plant experience, allow us to design chemistry that not only cleans and protects but also significantly improves line efficiency, reduces downtime, and extends the lifespan of critical equipment.
​
Our production capabilities are fully integrated and strategically located at our headquarters in Benoni, Gauteng, where we manufacture and store a wide range of industrial and food-safe cleaning agents. This centralised operation enables rapid innovation, consistent quality, and the flexibility to tailor products to meet client-specific requirements.
​
What truly sets Mandlachem apart is our operational model—designed around speed, reliability, and service. We own and operate our own fleet of chemical tankers, ensuring faster delivery times and supply chain stability for our customers. Our national footprint includes warehousing in the Western Cape and team members based in KwaZulu-Natal and Bloemfontein, providing responsive, on-the-ground support wherever it's needed.
​
We compete directly with international suppliers, yet our local presence, technical agility, and pricing efficiency give us a significant edge. More importantly, we believe in passing those advantages on to our customers—through innovative solutions, transparent partnerships, and a shared commitment to performance. Mandlachem isn't just a supplier—we're a strategic partner in your plant’s productivity.
