In operation since 1951, this long-established chemical and scientific supply distributor has served customers across Hawaii and the Pacific region for 75 years. The business has deep product knowledge in scientific-grade chemicals, reagents, and laboratory materials, supplying clients in healthcare, education, environmental services, government, and commercial industries. With approximately $220K in inventory included in the $200K asking price, this business offers an inventory-backed entry point with customer relationships, supplier connections, technical expertise, and established freight and logistics partnerships already in place. It is also a compelling strategic acquisition for an existing distributor or laboratory supply company looking to expand into the Hawaii market, instantly adding customers, supplier relationships, and an established regional presence without building from scratch.
