Macjames Global Resources Ltd
MACJAMES formulates and manufactures affordable and efficient eco-friendly specialty chemicals for cleaning, degreasing, descaling, dispersing, disinfecting, etc for use in water treatment, institutions, households,agriculture, oil & gas and other industries.
MACJAMES is solving the problem of using hazardous specialty chemicals in water treatment, households, institutions and industries in Rivers State, Nigeria and Africa.
Most of the cleaning and hygiene specialty chemicals available contain organic solvents and other hazardous materials which pollute the environment causing groundwater and surface water contamination as well as releasing greenhouse gases, non-biodegradable substances such as cyclic hydrocarbons, etc to the air. Such products have contributed and still contribute to the problems created by climate change as well as causing various diseases such as cancers, organ diseases/failures, etc. They also harm the user and destroy the integrity of the substrates on which they are applied causing high cost of maintenance and equipment failures, among others.
MACJAMES working with end-users and laboratory partners, with field experience and feedback therein, is solving the challenges by researching, developing, innovating, formulating, manufacturing and supplying biodegradable, (environmentally-friendly and eco-conscious) specialty chemicals which include Degreasers, Descaler, pH adjusters, SaferEx – Multi-action Water Purifier, Oil Spill Dispersants, metal cleaner/brighteners, etc. With eco-conscious products, we have contributed to reducing the challenges where our products are used by over 90 companies including multinational and national companies, and over 500,000 persons, saving them costs of importations and very expensive products.
MACJAMES is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has other Nigerian industrial and manufacturing certifications. Our business model is B2B. We have been working with end-users to manufacture affordable bespoke products for their tough jobs.
Our innovations' sustainable impact and goals include reducing climate change by manufacturing eco-friendly and eco-conscious products, reducing diseases caused by similar products, reducing loss due to facility and equipment failures as well as the cost of imports.
