Become a Distributor
Represent a research chemical brand built on documented quality, honest paperwork, and dependable global dispatch — and grow your own catalogue with materials your customers can trust.
The distributor programme
Research Chemicals China is expanding its reseller network and is looking for established partners who already serve laboratories, research groups, and industrial R&D in their region.
We are selective on purpose. A distributor carries our name into their market, so we look for businesses that value accurate documentation and honest technical answers as much as we do — rather than volume alone.
What follows covers what you receive as a partner, what we expect in return, and how the application runs from first email to first order.
Partner benefits
Everything below is designed to let you sell with confidence and protect your margin.
Full Catalogue Access
Our complete range of research chemicals, reference materials and analytical reagents, each supported by release testing and batch paperwork.
Wholesale Pricing
Tiered partner pricing that leaves room for a healthy margin while staying competitive locally, with volume breaks agreed per account.
Two-Continent Stock
Inventory held at our central facility in Asia, with streamlined shipping to the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa — shortening lead times for your customers worldwide.
Documentation Pack
Batch-specific certificates, safety data and export paperwork supplied with the shipment so you are never chasing files after the fact.
Named Account Contact
One person who knows your account, your typical order pattern and your market — reachable directly rather than through a queue.
Product Training
Briefings on handling, storage, specification reading and documentation so your team can answer technical questions first-hand.
Territory Protection
Qualified partners receive a defined or exclusive territory, so your investment in the brand is not undercut by a neighbouring reseller.
Compliance Backing
A clear research-use framework and screening process that gives you a defensible position with your own regulators and auditors.
Partner requirements
- An operating businessA registered company with a trading history in scientific, laboratory or industrial supply — not a start-up formed for a single order.
- Existing customer baseWorking relationships with universities, contract labs, biotech firms or manufacturers in your territory.
- Quality mindsetWillingness to keep records, honour specifications and escalate concerns rather than bury them.
- Regulatory disciplineUnderstanding of import, licensing and end-use rules where you operate, and agreement to uphold our research-use policy.
- Market literacyA realistic view of local demand, pricing and competition, and the ability to position the brand accordingly.
- Open communicationRegular, candid feedback on demand shifts, missing products and service problems.
Our distributors are the face of Research Chemicals China in their region. We would rather appoint fewer partners and support them properly than sign everyone who asks.

Documented Traceability
Batch-linked Certificates of Analysis and a paper trail that runs from supplier receipt through to dispatch.
