The warehousing and distribution specialists have been in business since 1988. “With over 20 years of experience in the chemical logistics industry, it is important for us to ensure our clients’ needs are met at all times,” said Stobel’s Dale Oliver. “We have a very direct and hands-on approach from our management side and that allows us to be flexible and meet our clients’ requirements at any time.” With primary services being ware– housing, distribution, clearing and forwarding, Stobel’s strength is in the vast knowledge they have of the chemical industry. “We are fully hazchem compliant and consider ourselves experts when it comes to the management of hazardous and dangerous goods.

As the world faces one of its toughest economic times, the Stobel team remains committed to not just being responsible but also ensuring their business remains affordable, he added. “It is one of the challenges we face in the next year to ensure that we manage and reduce our operating costs effectively and pass these benefits onto our clients in light of the current global recession.”
