Our company grew rapidly from its beginning, and by 1995, our consumption of iodine increased to a point where iodine availability limited our growth. In an effort to secure a dependable source of iodine, Ajay Chemicals joint ventured with SQM, which produces the world’s largest supply of raw iodine. We are in the unique position of having a dedicated source of iodine, even in times of supply scarcity. Our relationship with SQM gives our customers a piece of mind knowing that their orders will be fulfilled and never turned down due to iodine availability. We believe in the seemingly simple, but not always common, practice of treating our customers as family and doing things the right way—the first time. Please contact us to see for yourself. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be your IODEAL partner for your iodine needs. To learn more about SQM, please click here.
