Our Dedicated People

Our greatest asset is the people that comprise the Young Chemical team. The best equipment in the world is only as good as the people operating it. We have assembled an experienced, educated, and highly motivated staff capable of meeting the demands of our customer and supplier base. These are the people entrusted to handle your specific requirements.

John Bennett, Operations Manager:

He is credited with developing and implementing our ISO 9001:2000 Certification, the Responsible Distribution Process compliance, the company's first formal Safety Program, and the selection and installation of all the process equipment we currently use. John employs a "hands on" management technique and all products produced are originally run on a "pilot plant" system with the necessary procedures first being determined and tested before scale-up occurs.

Stringent Training for Chemical Handling

Most importantly for the safety of our employees, but also a necessary service to our customers and suppliers, is the training in storage and handling received by all our warehouse personnel and drivers. Each participant is thoroughly briefed in the hazards of the chemicals we carry, the proper use of personal protective equipment, and first response preparation.
