From humble beginnings in Australia & New Zealand the ASCC Group of companies has expanded it’s reach into South East Asia.

Headquarter in Singapore, our capability now extends to Thailand through our subsidiary, Global Chemie ASCC, into Indonesia through our PT ASCC International Sales office and to Taytonn ASCC Flavours & Fragrance distribution business, with coverage across Asia Pacific.
