Market coverage

Nine industry segments, one technical field organisation. We know the formulators and buyers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein — and what they expect from their suppliers.

Paints & coatings

Decorative, wood, industrial, powder and coil coatings: from family-run paint producers to international manufacturing sites.

Construction chemicals

Producers of mortars, renders and construction systems as well as road-marking specialists — a stable base of demanding customers.

Flooring

Manufacturers of floor-coating systems — mid-sized specialists with strong technical depth and tight project timelines.

Printing inks & inkjet

Ink producers and inkjet formulators — a compact Swiss niche with high technical requirements.

Adhesives

From label and laminating adhesives to industrial bonding and sealants — formulators who value application support.

Plastics

Compounders and processors across thermoplastics, thermosets and fibre composites.

Leather, textile & paper

Finishing and impregnation specialists, including technical textiles — a segment with long-standing supplier relationships.

Pharma & cosmetics

Selected raw materials for manufacturers with Swiss documentation and quality expectations.

Cleaning & lubricants

Household and industrial cleaning producers as well as metal-working-fluid formulators.

Warehouse & logistics

Local stock is what turns a supplier into a partner: your customers order today and formulate the day after tomorrow.

📦

Local stock

Over 150 tonnes of raw material and around 100 products held in Switzerland — customers buy domestically, without import formalities.

🏢

Warehouse Arlesheim

Chemical-grade warehousing near Basel with daily dispatch, run on our own warehouse-management system.

🚚

24–48 h delivery

Standard delivery across Switzerland and Liechtenstein within 24–48 hours — from single drums to full pallets.

🔍

End-to-end traceability

Batch tracking and certificates of analysis, available digitally with every delivery.

Regulatory: Switzerland is not the EU

An attractive market with its own chemicals legislation. We handle the Swiss specifics — your EU compliance team does not have to.

⚖️

Swiss chemicals law

Compliance under the Swiss Chemicals Ordinance (ChemV) — closely related to EU rules, but not identical. We cover the Swiss side of the paperwork.

📄

Safety data sheets

Swiss-compliant safety data sheets in the required national languages, kept current and distributed through our own SDS portal.

🛸

Customs & import

Import clearance, customs handling and documentation are our job — your products reach Swiss customers as easily as EU ones.

🔗

The small differences

Labelling, notification duties, dangerous-goods specifics: we bridge the daily differences between EU and Swiss practice for all our principals.

Technical service

We sell the way manufacturers want their specialties sold: through application advice, not price lists.

🧪

Formulation advice

Technical consulting at the customer’s bench — from raw-material selection to troubleshooting.

📦

Sample management

A structured free-sample process with digital tracking: every sample is followed up, none gets lost.

🔬

Lab coordination

We coordinate trials between the customer and your technical service, and keep development projects moving.

🎓

Training & seminars

Product and application trainings position your portfolio with the people who formulate with it.

The sales organisation behind it

Presented deliberately as a team, not as personal profiles — we shield our people from recruiters. That protection is part of what keeps this organisation stable.

  • Technical field sales with full coverage of German-speaking Switzerland and Romandie
  • Advisory in German, French and English, across all nine segments
  • Structured visit planning and CRM-based follow-up on every project and sample
  • A stable, long-tenured team — customer relationships that persist

Why this is hard to replicate

Experienced technical sales professionals for specialty chemicals are scarce in Switzerland and rarely available on the open market. An established, technically trained field force with grown customer relationships is a market access that a manufacturer cannot simply hire or build — it is the core of what a mandate with us provides.

Digital reporting for principals

You should not have to guess what happens in your Swiss market. Our own systems keep you informed.

📈

Sell-out transparency

Regular reporting on volumes and development of your product lines — the basis for honest annual reviews.

💬

Market & project feedback

Structured feedback from the field: projects, trends and competitive observations across nine segments.

🧪

Sample pipeline

Digitally tracked samples show early where demand is building — you see the funnel, not just the orders.

🛡️

Own systems, own servers

CRM, order tracking, COA and SDS portals are developed in-house by Spring ChemServices AG and run on our own infrastructure. Your market data stays with us.

Concrete report formats and KPIs are agreed in a personal conversation.

Fit and conflict check

We take on new product lines only where they strengthen the portfolio and create no conflict with existing principals — in the interest of both sides. Talk to us about adjacent chemistries and open segments.
