Orthochem -
Largest manufacturer of bread preservatives in the southern hemisphere
Orthochem is the sole South African manufacturer of Calcium Propionate & Calcium Acetate and has been operating since 1985. It is the major supplier of bread preservatives to the South African baking industry and in the last few years has developed export markets on all the continents, concentrating particularly on Australasia and South East Asia for logistical reasons. In these markets, Orthochem's products have competed successfully on quality and price with well known European and North American brands.
Our manufacturing facility, situated at Bethlehem in South Africa, also processes Polyaluminium Chloride (Taki process), a flocculant for water treatment, as well as Anhydrous Lanolin for use in cosmetic formulations, particularly moisturising creams and hair care products.
