Our heritage

Over the past 50 years, Caldic has transformed from a traditional trading company into a global solutions provider for the life science and industrial markets. When Joop van Caldenborgh established Caldic in 1970 as a chemical trading company, he laid the foundations for today’s international business, which delivers value-add solutions to the food, personal care, pharma, and industrial markets around the world.

Through a series of strategic acquisitions and mergers, alongside investments in state-of-the-art application and product testing labs, culinary innovation kitchens, cleanrooms for pharmaceutical solvents and the expansion of several of our offices and warehousing facilities, we are well positioned to continue on our growth journey, delivering inspiring solutions that help drive the efficiency and sustainability of our business partners and customers alike.

Our locations around the world

Across Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia Pacific, our approximately 4000 employees go the extra mile day in, day out, to deliver value-add solutions for our customers. Discover more about our locations, including contact details, markets covered and local office addresses.

QHSE

At Caldic we are committed to delivering the highest standards in Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE). Because we care for our people and beyond, Safety is our number one priority. We firmly believe that we create value across the supply chain when we implement safe solutions, ensure and maintain a zero-incident workplace, and focus continually on the quality and sustainability of our products, our ingredients, our customer service and our people. All together our approach to QHSE matters for our future success.

From formulation to delivery, from ingredient to packing, from supplier to customer, we care about every detail of what we do. Because every detail is in our care.
