substitute for quality

Fiji Chemicals make no substitute for quality

Through the production of interna tional-standard products like those made by Fiji Chemicals, Fiji’s rep

utation as a manufacturer of quality hotel industry, dairy factories and farms, brew eries, soft drink factories, abattoirs, com

mercial laundries and food processing fac tory items, is growing.

Fiji chemicals was established in 1973 to import sanitisers, degreasers, disinfec tants, deodorisers and detergents.

In 1978, the company started producing these products under licence from Ecolab, an American company based in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Ecolab supplied formulas for the clean ing products to Fiji Chemicals Limited, and the raw materials were then imported and blended into finished goods.

This ensures that the quality of the product remains the same no matter which part of the globe the cleaning agents are

produced in.

Quality control of all products is ensured by the Fiji Chemicals laboratory with samples retained for the Ecolab International Quality Control Audit.

Fiji Chemicals Limited manufactures over 120 products from over 200 different types of imported raw materials.

Because the local demand for Fiji made cleaning products is huge, the com pany will focus on consolidating its inter ests in Fiji before expanding into overseas markets.

A recent development is the company’s move into the manufacture of household dish-washing machine powder, under the trade name Dishklenz, which is distributed through local supermarket chain Joe’s Farm and Apteds.

Fiji Chemicals also manufacture, under the brand name Ritze, products like hair shampoo, hair conditioner, liquid deter

gent and laundry powder.

The Ecolab Research and Development section constantly updates its product lines and passes them on to licensees like Fiji Chemicals.

This ensures the availability of an

updated selection of quality products for

the benefit of consumers. ■
