Chemico developed a new Chemical Management program for an Aerospace Engine Manufacturer in Mexico to address the many challenges associated with acquisition, inventory management, quality control, and application of the diverse chemicals and lubricants used throughout the plant. The program included a team of chemical management experts as well as a dedicated group that maintains and manages the metalworking fluids for over 400 machines.
