Founded in 1981 as a chemical raw material distributor, LidoChem combines the personal service and responsiveness normally associated with a family owned business with the technical, safety and logistics support equal to that of the largest chemical distributors.   LidoChem has two divisions: Chemical Raw Materials and Performance Nutrition.   The Chemical Raw Materials Division has supplied the requirements of the specialty fertilizer, detergent, paint, metal cleaning, food, and related industries since its inception. Today, LidoChem, Inc. is ranked as the 60th largest chemical distributor in the nation.   LidoChem is staffed with an experienced national and international Logistics Department and a dedicated and knowledgeable sales staff with decades of experience. As an active participant of the Responsible Distribution Program sponsored by The National Association of Chemical Distributors, we maintain Product Safety and Quality Assurance programs.   The Performance Nutrition Division was established in 1994 for the purpose of offering non-toxic and nutritional products and programs to maximize plant production, crop protection and turf management without the use of conventional (and often times) hazardous compounds.   Additionally, its Technical Support Department, headed by Frank Dean, offers clients product knowledge, problem solving strategies and a willingness to listen and learn about problems that our customers face. Our Technical Department and Sales Managers are mandated to listen to the customer to identify and understand issues and find solutions.  LidoChem's suppliers have state of the art Research and Development Programs and Technical Services Departments, which are available to help clients better use our products. Our products and support programs are designed to improve existing fertility programs which in turn will improve plant health and vitality.
