ROCSA COLOMBIA S.A. operates as a key distributor of specialty and commodity chemicals, establishing a significant market presence in Colombia and expanding into Peru and Central America. Founded in 1997, the company has grown to become a pivotal player in the chemical distribution sector before its acquisition by Azelis Group, which was finalized in the third quarter of 2022. This strategic acquisition provided Azelis a substantial entry into the South American market, leveraging ROCSA's established platform.
The company's business model is centered on the import and distribution of a wide array of chemical products. ROCSA serves over 1,900 customers across various industries, managed from its headquarters in Bogota and four other regional offices. The client base spans life sciences and industrial chemicals. In the life sciences sector, it caters to the Food & Nutrition, Personal Care, and Home Care & Industrial Cleaning markets. For industrial chemicals, its focus is on CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers), plastic additives, textiles, and leather.
ROCSA's service is the distribution of a diverse portfolio of products sourced from global, regional, and domestic suppliers. This includes specialty chemicals and food ingredients for a multitude of applications. The company's logistical strength and experienced sales force, comprising over 130 employees, ensure efficient delivery and customer service. Following the acquisition by Azelis, ROCSA's capabilities are enhanced by Azelis' global network, commitment to sustainability, and digital platforms, aiming to broaden its service and product offerings in the region.
