Bell Chem Celebrates its 30th Anniversary

Thirty years ago, John Cervo and Charles Williams embarked on a business venture and founded Bell Chem in Longwood, Florida. Together, the owners have grown their business to a single source distributor of chemicals and ingredients for customers across Florida, the United States, and the entire globe. 

While many things have changed over the last 30 years, the main goal of Bell Chem remains simple: provide their clients the best service and products possible. To that end, they work industriously to go above and beyond, providing next-day delivery service to many major Florida cities and to Florida ports for delivery worldwide. 

Celebrating 30 Years in Business

Founded in 1992, Bell Chem offers a wide array of chemicals and ingredients for food and reagents including the citrus industry, food and bakery industries, and beverage and brewery industries; USP ingredients for nutritional, pharmaceutical, and personal care products; water treatment chemicals for both industrial and municipal system use; and technical grade chemicals for sanitation and janitorial companies. 

While stocking these various items has helped our company compete, our personal customer service is what has truly helped us thrive. Several employees have worked for Bell Chem for 20 or more years, and one employee aside from the owners has been with the company since it was founded. We owe our longevity in a large part to these dedicated members of our team, as well as our ability to adapt to market needs.

Supporting Florida’s Citrus Industry

As time went by, our business moved increasingly into the food industry. Florida’s booming citrus industry relies on Bell Chem’s expedient delivery schedule and superior product line to help maintain their businesses as they grow the world’s best citrus products. Working hand-in-hand with Safe Chem, their longtime business partner, Bell Chem offers C-sanTM Sanitation products for citrus production and food/beverage processing. 

Keeping Up with Best Practices

With 30 years of experience, Bell Chem remains invested in progress. Quality control is a tremendous part of daily business, and every aspect of Bell Chem’s business is regulated by the FDA, DEA, EPA, and/or OSHA. They also ensure business practices and products are verified compliant via D. L. Newslow and Associates, Inc.. Their Food Safety Audit assures Bell Chem’s customers they are purchasing from a company meeting or exceeding Good Manufacturing Practices defined by the FDA, and related HACCP and PRP requirements. 

To our loyal employees and customers who helped build what we are today, THANK YOU. We remain committed to not only being the best company to work for but offering the highest quality products and service for our customers.
