  • Miligrams - Tons

    Due to our long experience in this business we are aware of the fact that a few grams or even milligrams are sufficient for research. If you are interested in substances, do not hesitate to contact us regardless how small the required quantity may be. In case the research project is successfully completed and our customer needs larger quantities, we inform the supplier way ahead to enable him to complete the scale-up before you might need larger quantities ranging from kilos to maybe even tons later on. Our supplier is able to make upscale investments in time because he is currently being updated on the development of the market by Cfm Oskar Tropitzsch e.K.

  • Product Search

    Our wide range of products covers a large number of requirements our customers have. We are, however, always prepared to look for substances our customers might need. Due to our global network comprising more than 60 countries we are in a position to offer chemical specialities on short notice. In case we are not able to deliver immediately we keep our customer updated on the situation. At times we have found substances after more than 6 months and were able to supply our customer. This service is free of charge - even if no order will be placed later on.

  • Marketing of Products

    Product knowledge meets business know-how!

    As a trading company doing business throughout the world we attend various symposia, professional conventions or trade fairs at least once a month and offer universities, institutes and research establishments the opportunity to market their products, patents and ideas globally. Moreover we will be happy to find potential partners who are interested in licensing agreements for your patent. In order to achieve this we are regularly in touch with almost all global players in the pharmaceutical industry.
