ABOUT US

Setchem (Pty) Ltd is a BEE rated, privately owned South African Company specialising in the supply of chemicals and chemical dosing plants, and providing back-up services to the mining and mineral processing industries.

There was a need to bridge the gap between suppliers with traditionally limited knowledge of process equipment and applications, and equipment suppliers with limited knowledge of correct reagent usage. Setchem, being a subsidiary of Roytec Global ( a leading supplier of Thickeners, Clarifiers & Filters), was formed in 2013 to bridge this gap. Setchem is the only chemical supplier within Africa with a liquid/solid separation equipment background. Since 2013, Setchem services and supplies South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the DRC.
