About UsOverview

Founded 1995

Three decades of moving chemistry where it's needed.

From a single office in Mumbai in 1995 to a pan-India distribution network working with global manufacturers today, LOK Chemicals has grown through long-term relationships, consistent supply, and the trust of the industries we serve.

Founded in Mumbai in 1995, LOK Chemicals has grown steadily into a pan-India chemical sourcing and distribution company serving a wide range of industrial sectors. Over the years, the company has built long-term relationships with customers, suppliers, and global manufacturing partners across commodity and specialty chemicals. With an expanding distribution network, established logistics infrastructure, and cumulative trading volumes exceeding 250,000 metric tonnes, LOK Chemicals continues to focus on reliable supply, consistent execution, and long-term growth across the chemical value chain.

Our Story
“Built around the customers we serve.”

In 1995, LOK Chemicals began operations from a single office in Mumbai, supplying industrial chemicals to manufacturers across India. What started as a regional trading business steadily evolved through reliable sourcing, consistent supply, and long-term industry relationships built over decades.

As Indian manufacturing expanded, the company grew across both imported and domestically manufactured products, developing sourcing relationships with suppliers and manufacturers across Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Over the years, LOK Chemicals expanded from industrial raw materials into a broader portfolio spanning solvents, intermediates, specialty chemicals, polymers, additives, and commodity chemicals serving multiple industries across India.

Today, LOK Chemicals operates as a committed trading house in polymers, chemical solvents, specialty chemicals, and a pan-India supply network. The company handles bulk and packaged cargo through ISO tanks, flexibags, containers, IBC drums, tankers, and warehouse distribution systems, while also managing freight forwarding and logistics coordination internally. With supply capabilities across FOB, CIF, and domestic delivery structures, the company continues to focus on dependable execution, operational consistency, and long-term customer partnerships.

Our Principles

What We Stand For

Six principles that have guided every shipment, every partnership, and every commitment since 1995.

Reliable Supply, Every Shipment
01

Reliable Supply, Every Shipment

Every order, every consignment, and every delivery window is treated as a firm commitment. Reliability is not a marketing claim — it is built into how we plan, source, and execute.

Quality Backed By Documentation
02

Quality Backed By Documentation

TDS, MSDS, COA, and regulatory documentation travel with every consignment. Quality at LOK is a paper trail, not a promise.

Long-Term Customer Relationships
03

Long-Term Customer Relationships

We measure success in repeat orders. Some of our customers have been with us for over twenty years — that is a track record, not loyalty.

Disciplined Logistics & Execution
04

Disciplined Logistics & Execution

Inventory turns, dispatch SLAs, and warehouse protocols underpin every commitment. Execution discipline is what makes on-time delivery a standard, not an exception.

Global Sourcing, Local Distribution
05

Global Sourcing, Local Distribution

Sourcing relationships across Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, combined with pan-India distribution infrastructure and on-ground presence.

Safe & Responsible Handling
06

Safe & Responsible Handling

Safety, regulatory compliance, and environmentally responsible handling are non-negotiable standards applied across every product category and supply chain partner.
