Offer and services

The foundation of the chembid platform is the global meta search engine for chemicals and plastics. This aggregates offers from external marketplaces and connected web shops in order to subsequently make them accessible to platform users. In this way, the search engine supports buyers and sellers of chemicals and plastics in the digital processing of commercial transactions. Using a filter system, the search results can be adjusted by provider location, price, marketplace, quality / grade, unit of measure , Incoterms and currency .

chembid provides an overview of the available offers from individual marketplaces and web shops. If the user is interested in one of the products shown on chembid, he will be forwarded to the chembid marketplace or the corresponding partner platform in order to make an inquiry there or to buy the product directly.

Another component of the chembid platform is the integrated marketplace. Suppliers of chemicals and plastics can post their offers free of charge using their own marketplace profile and use this function to make them findable using the chembid search engine. In addition, tenders for the chemicals and plastics you are looking for can be created, about which product providers in question can be informed and for which they can submit individual offers.

Chembid's platform offering is complemented by online marketing services for companies in the chemical and plastics industries.
