CHEMUK 2024 can boast its largest-ever showing of suppliers and partners supporting industrial chemicals, fine and specialty chemicals, chemical-formulated products, chemical and biochemical engineering and processing operations, chemical distribution and logistics, R&D and product development, and chemical-dependent communities, spanning 14,000 sqm of floor space under one giant roof.
