About Petrus Chemicals
About
Founded in 1986, Petrus Chemicals & Materials is a well-established Israeli company specializing in the import, distribution and supply of high-quality raw materials to a wide range of industries.
Originally founded by Mr. Shlomo Steinberg, a chemical engineer and Technion graduate, Petrus has remained a privately owned, family-oriented company throughout its nearly four decades of activity. Today, we combine the values of a long-standing business with the professionalism, flexibility and ambition of a modern organization.
Our experienced team brings together more than 300 years of combined industry experience, providing our customers with extensive technical knowledge, market understanding and a highly personal level of service.
Our fields of activity include Nutraceuticals, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Food & Beverage, Plastics & Rubber, Pigments, Industrial Chemicals, Water & Wastewater Treatment, Swimming Pools, Intermediates, Candles, and additional specialty markets.
Petrus holds the required regulatory approvals and licenses to import, store and supply raw materials across all the industries we serve. Supported by our local warehousing capabilities, extensive inventory in Israel and in-house laboratory, we are able to provide our customers with reliable supply, shorter lead times, technical support and fast response to changing requirements.
Our laboratory capabilities allow us to support product evaluation, formulation and application development, helping our customers identify and implement the right solutions for their specific needs.
Over the years, we have built long-term partnerships with leading international manufacturers and with customers throughout the Israeli industry. We see ourselves as much more than a raw-material supplier: we connect global innovation and technology with the needs of the local market, providing solutions that help our customers develop, manufacture and grow.
After nearly four decades, Petrus remains privately owned and true to its family roots, combining decades of experience and strong relationships with a constant drive to evolve and grow.
