Alpha Chemical Products S.A. operates as a specialized manufacturer and supplier within the global maritime industry, providing chemical solutions essential for vessel maintenance and operation. Based in Aspropyrgos, Greece, near the major maritime hub of Piraeus, the company was established in 2004. Over the decades, it has evolved from a local supplier into an international entity, leveraging Greece’s strong shipping heritage to build a network capable of servicing vessels in over 1,000 ports worldwide.
The organization distinguishes itself through its capacity to manufacture its own products rather than acting solely as a trader. It maintains modern, privately owned production facilities and fully equipped laboratories where it conducts research and development. This internal infrastructure allows the company to control the entire supply chain, from formulation to final delivery, ensuring that products meet the rigorous quality standards required by international shipping regulations. The company’s operations are certified under ISO standards, reflecting a commitment to quality management and environmental responsibility in its manufacturing processes.
Core activities revolve around the production of a comprehensive range of marine chemicals. These include specialized agents for tank and cargo hold cleaning, which are critical for vessels switching between different types of cargo. The company also formulates treatments for boiler and cooling water systems to prevent scale and corrosion, as well as biological products for waste management. Beyond its proprietary manufacturing, Alpha Chemical Products S.A. functions as a strategic partner for other major European entities, serving as a representative for specialized fuel additives and certified gas turbine cleaners. This allows the firm to offer advanced combustion improvers and fuel treatments that assist operators in meeting emissions targets and maintaining engine efficiency.
The company is an active member of the Worldwide Industrial & Marine Association (WIMA), a non-profit initiative that clusters maritime companies to foster cooperation and certification assurance. Through its technical support division, Alpha Chemical Products S.A. provides more than just commodities; it offers onboard consulting and cleaning services, deploying engineers to assist crews with complex cleaning operations. This service-oriented approach ensures that the chemical solutions provided are applied effectively, supporting the overall safety, compliance, and longevity of the global merchant fleet.
