The Shamrock Group is one of the most experienced NZ chemical suppliers, sourcing and selling a wide portfolio of chemicals, including surfactants, acids, amines and other specialty products. 

As a New Zealand owned and operated chemical importer, we combine local manufacturing knowledge with strong international supply relationships to bring quality product into the country reliably and compliantly.

Through our strong links with a number of high-quality global chemical manufacturers and suppliers, Shamrock is able to source and supply various chemicals into the New Zealand market. All our products are purchased through globally respected brands, so technical quality is never an issue. 

As experienced chemical importers, our wide experience in the import and export of chemicals, combined with a strong professional and ethical outlook, ensures a positive, dependable service for our customers.

We are equally established as a chemical exporter. Our history of exporting chemical goods to Asian markets, built on decades of technical relationships, means we understand both sides of the trade: what it takes to bring products into New Zealand and what it takes to get New Zealand-made products to customers overseas.

We supply chemicals to the following industries:

• Leather tanning & dyeing processes
• Meat industry chemicals
• Fabric & textile production chemicals & dyestuffs
• Construction
• Oil-based manufacturers

Beyond importing from our own established supplier network, Shamrock also works as a sourcing agent for customers with specific requirements. Through our international sourcing partners who audit factories in person to manage quality and verify specifications, we can source almost any product to a customer’s exact specification.

This makes us a good option for New Zealand businesses that have struggled to get consistent quality or communication when dealing directly with overseas suppliers. If you need a chemical or raw material sourced to spec, talk to us before you go direct.

Whether you need a single specialty ingredient or an ongoing supply arrangement, Shamrock is one of the chemical importers NZ industry relies on for consistency and technical support. We supply into a wide range of sectors, including leather, textiles, agriculture and the meat industry, and we’re increasingly active in the building, oil and energy sectors, where the importance of construction chemicals to project quality and compliance continues to grow. We also field regular enquiries around importing research chemicals into New Zealand and specialty/laboratory-grade materials, and can advise on sourcing routes for these through our agent network.

As New Zealand import chemical requirements and regulations evolve, our team stays close to compliance requirements so our customers don’t have to manage that complexity themselves.
