Supply chain from origin to your factory gate in the Kingdom
Raykem’s supply chain for Saudi Arabia operates through our Dubai free zone hub (Raykem L.L.C-FZ) and our Riyadh entity (Raykem Chemicals Co.). Goods are sourced from approved manufacturers in China, South Korea, India, and Europe — consolidated in Dubai or shipped direct — and imported into KSA under full SABER/SASO compliance.
Supply Chain Model & Routes
Dubai Free Zone Hub (Primary)

Source Countries & Products
China — epoxy resins, pigments, construction additives (HPMC/RDP/PCE), solvents, monomers. South Korea — specialty chemicals, isocyanates. India — commodity solvents (xylene, IPA, MEG, MEA), intermediates. Europe — specialty hardeners, high-purity grades, phenalkamine.

African Market Supply
From Jebel Ali, India, and China — direct to Africa
As a Dubai Jebel Ali free zone entity, Raykem is ideally positioned to service Africa. Jebel Ali Port has direct weekly sailings to all major African ports — Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Durban, Lagos, Tema, Djibouti, and more. For bulk commodity chemicals, we also facilitate direct shipment from India and China for significant cost and lead-time advantages.
African manufacturers importing specialty and industrial chemicals benefit from Dubai’s position as a re-export hub with zero customs duty on outbound goods, competitive freight rates, and consistent weekly sailings on major shipping lines.
Three Supply Routes to Africa
FCL and LCL from Jebel Ali to all major African ports. Weekly sailings on MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, and regional carriers. Fastest route for specialty and lower-volume orders.
Lead times: Mombasa 9–12 days | Dar es Salaam 10–13 days | Durban 14–18 days | Lagos 18–22 days | Djibouti 5–7 days | Tema 20–24 days
For commodity chemicals where India is origin, direct shipment from Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra, or Hazira offers competitive pricing and good transit times, particularly for East Africa.
Products: MEG, DEG, MEA, IPA, Xylene, Toluene, caustic soda, soda ash, commodity glycols | ETA Mombasa: 7–10 days
For full container quantities of specialty chemicals — pigments, HPMC, RDP, epoxy resin, TDI, MDI — direct FCL from Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, or Guangzhou is typically the most cost-effective route. Raykem manages sourcing, QC, and documentation from China.
Products: Epoxy resin, TDI, MDI, HPMC, RDP, PCE, TiO₂, Iron Oxide, organic pigments, monomers | ETA Mombasa: 21–28 days
Products We Supply to Africa
Raykem supplies specialty and commodity industrial chemicals to African manufacturers across paint, construction, plastics, rubber, and textile industries. Both FCL and LCL orders accepted.
