Mission Statement;

    • To be identified as the global leader of sourcing and procurement services and as a reliable supplier of products to the Life Sciences and Fine Chemicals Industries.
    • To advance the business of our customers and suppliers while progressing quality of life through their products.
    • To be at the forefront of developing technology that brings value to our customers.
    • To bridge customers’ needs and supplier capabilities while addressing all environmental safety and regulatory compliance requirements.
    • To accelerate drug and chemical development programs to commercialization through the use of our global suppliers.

    • Overview

  • Austin Chemical Company, Inc. (ACCI) celebrates its fifth decade in business as a representative and partner company. Founded in 1976 as a Sales and Marketing company offering ingredients, raw materials, and intermediates to Life Sciences Companies; ACCI has grown substantially over the years to include PR&D, CDMO/CMO services, and technical solutions. Additionally, we are pleased to support Fine Chemical Companies focusing on, but not limited to, the C.A.S.E. marketplace.

    ACCI representations have continually expanded; including companies based in Japan (70’s/80’s), Europe and China (80’s), and India (90’s). Austin formally began its partnering activities in 2012 (Netherlands, Switzerland, USA) creating a solid position in technical support services (PR&D) and products supply addressing customer developmental program needs.

    ACCI was the first company to offer Sourcing and Procurement services (late 1980’s) with its first contractual agreement as an asset extension to DOW beginning in 1992. We have expanded our services to include a “Tail End Sourcing Support Program” (2018) which addresses specific customer commercial needs often not routinely addressed due to direct purchasing personnel prioritization programs.

    ACCI’s fee-based Market Investigation Program was introduced in 2008 and supports both customer and supplier needs. A subset of additional offerings resulted soon thereafter; including Supply Chain Risk Analysis, Due Diligence, and Confidential Sourcing.

    ACCI has created flexible customer programs that address both short and long term USA based warehousing needs. We also support Supplier Contractual Distribution activities and requirements.

    ACCI has an active Logistics program assisting with the global movement of products on behalf of customers and suppliers.

    zuChem Inc. and Austin Chemical Company have formed an alliance for Austin Chemical to market and sell zuChem-produced rare sugars produced under its zuCarb™ product line worldwide. Austin represents both zuChem’s product and custom synthesis service offerings to the fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry.

    zuCarb™ Research Carbohydrates & Intermediates

    Monosaccharides

    Rare/modified sugars, phosphorylated sugars, activated sugars
    zucarbPharmaceutical products that incorporate glycochemicals have tremendous therapeutic potential. However, pharmaceutical research with glycochemicals has been limited, at least in part, due to the fact that rare and modified glycochemical building blocks needed to research and manufacture these new drug candidates is difficult and expensive. zuChem’s proprietary technologies and uniquely experienced staff can provide many of these rare sugars as you need them and can develop the technologies and process to create one-of-a-kind solutions for you.
