The Challenge: Navigating Complexity in Global Markets

For leading distributors like DISAN Químicos, staying competitive in the fast-moving world of vitamins, amino acids, and other specialty ingredients requires access to timely, reliable, and actionable market intelligence.

Over the past few years, global supply chains have become increasingly volatile, with sudden regulatory changes, price swings, and emerging innovations creating both risks and opportunities.

For DISAN Químicos, the challenge was clear: how to make faster, more informed decisions in a constantly evolving market landscape.

The Solution: A Growing Partnership with Kemiex

Three years ago, DISAN Químicos began using Kemiex to support their procurement and market analysis activities. What started as a new tool for price discovery has evolved into a central platform for decision-making and strategic planning.

“One of the things I value most is how the platform continues to evolve. It’s clear that the team is always working on improvements that make a real difference in our daily work.”

With each update, Kemiex has addressed real needs — not just adding features, but solving problems. Recent improvements have included:

  • Expanded coverage in Price Trends and Trade Flows, adding more product categories relevant to DISAN’s portfolio.
  • customizable dashboard that allows teams to filter and focus on the most relevant data points.
  • global map of manufacturers, offering enhanced transparency and helping evaluate supply sources at a glance.
  • patent tracking tool and incident calendar, delivering early-warning signals on regulatory, safety, and innovation developments.

The Result: Better Insights, Smarter Decisions

Today, DISAN Químicos uses Kemiex not just as a data platform, but as a strategic partner. With benchmark data on key ingredients, including newly added enriched annotations and context, they can assess trends with greater confidence.

“For key ingredients like Vitamins and Amino acids, the benchmark data has become even more insightful… helping us better understand market dynamics and make better decisions when making purchases.”

Monthly Market reports provide a concise, reliable overview that helps the team stay aligned — even across different offices and product lines.

Looking Ahead: A Shared Commitment to Progress

Kemiex’s dedication to continuous improvement hasn’t gone unnoticed.

“Kemiex keeps raising the bar, and it’s great to work with a partner that’s so committed to continuous improvement.”

As DISAN Químicos continues to grow in Latin America and beyond, they count on platforms like Kemiex to deliver clarity, control, and confidence in an otherwise uncertain market.
