You’re a business owner who values Efficiency and peace of mind knowing that everything is running smoothly.
You depend on strategies and the ongoing flow of daily activities, but often find that your processes are hindered by poor service and a lack of communication from your suppliers?
We get it! Superior quality means nothing if it’s combined with poor service delivery. This is why we have spent the last 15 years refining our processes to ensure that exceptional customer service is our top priority.


We are all about merging Exceptional Quality with Unbeatable Service
Kayochem, originally Kayo Fine Chemicals, first opened its doors 15 years ago in November 2006. Tracy De Bruyn and Kathy Odendaal had worked together for several years before deciding to venture out to start Kayochem. Like any new business, the first few months were difficult – hours were spent on cold-calling, purchasing stock, and building systems from the ground up. Ten months into the project, Kathy was murdered in a home invasion, an event that shook the stability of the company. And yet, Kayochem persisted, making it through one trial after the next. This is where we have often found our strength lies – in our perseverance and passion.
Kayochem was built on the foundation of strong relationships. Losing Kathy shook things up in a big way, and since then we have worked consistently to ensure that building and maintaining relationships lies at the heart of what we do. We are here to bridge the gap between what a business does and what it needs. We are here to meet your needs. We care for your business’s wellbeing as if it were our own. That is our guarantee to you.

Sourcing high-quality chemicals, whilst nurturing lifelong relationships
Selling top-quality chemicals is what we do, but nurturing ongoing relationships is who we are. Kayochem has grown in leaps and bounds over the years and is continuing to do so, becoming a company that can provide a service level that is unmatched in the industry. Kayochem started off supplying chemicals to the food industry but has since then expanded to service the Industrial and Agricultural industries.
