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. 

Bell Chem: Your Simple Source

Founded in 1992, Bell Chem is proud to be your simple source for all of your chemical needs. Offering a diverse line of food, pharmaceutical, and personal care raw materials, we offer personalized service and are positioned to be your supplier on a local, national, and international level.

Quality
When a company offers ingredients that interact with humans — whether those products are in the form of detergents to clean granaries or processing equipment or ingredients for facial cream — they have to be extremely safe. Bell Chem inspects all products from the manufacturer as they enter stock to maintain integrity, as well as offering quality documentation for all products whether they are food grade, reagent grade, or designated for nutritional, personal care, or pharmaceutical use. 

Quality products extend beyond those that directly interact with humans, though. Bell Chem’s extensive line of sanitation, technical grade chemicals, and water treatment chemicals are pure, hardworking chemicals that fit a vast array of needs and industries. 

How can all these varied ingredients and chemicals be safely transported, handled, and packaged? The answer is in the form of quality control. Every chemical and ingredient passes quality inspections and document control that ensure your product is the same from one shipment to the next. 

Bell Chem is registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its food ingredient storage; the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for its pharmaceutical ingredients, which must also meet United States Pharmacopeia standards; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure its chemicals are properly stored as well as distributed and disposed of properly; and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to verify workers have adequate personal protective equipment, chemicals are handled properly, and the workplace is safe.

Bell Chem is based in Longwood, FL (just north of Orlando) with hundreds of products stocked in their 50,000+ square-foot warehouse.

Quality Control

Bell Chem strives to ensure its employees work in a safe environment and that its products meet quality guidelines before they are shipped to you. To meet these goals, we are regulated by four authorities. Below is a brief explanation of each and how they assure all safety goals are met or exceeded.

FDA
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, ensures the “…safety, efficacy, and security” of drugs and biological products. The FDA also ensures the safety of products in the food and cosmetic supply chain. The FDA stimulates food and product innovation that will positively impact the public’s health. Among other factors, the FDA oversees pigments added to cosmetics, skin cleansers and moisturizers, nail products, and perfumes. In foods, the FDA is responsible for the safety of food additives and bottled water. In pharmaceuticals, the FDA ascertains that the proper ingredients are added to both prescription and non-prescription medications. The Drug Supply Chain Security Act states all portions of the supply chain must be licensed and registered with the FDA, drugs must be traced throughout the supply chain, and if illegal drugs are suspected, they must be reported.

DEA
The Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, enforces controlled substances laws and regulations. By reducing the amount of illegal controlled substances within the United States, the volume of drugs illegally grown, manufactured, and distributed is vastly reduced. The Controlled Substance Act regulates the transfer and disposal, record-keeping, inventory, and ordering of controlled substances.

EPA
The EPA, also known as the Environmental Protection Agency, focuses on the environment and human health. Their goal is for every American to enjoy clean air, land, and water while reducing environmental risks. The EPA ensures everyone has access to information pertaining to human health and environmental risks and that all chemicals in a supply chain are handled and processed safely. Regulations focus on identifying hazardous waste, calculating the total weight of hazardous waste, notifying authorities on how the waste will be disposed of, tracking how hazardous waste is disposed of, and recycling or treating all hazardous waste when possible.

OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA, assures “…safe and healthful working conditions” by setting standards and enforcing them with training and assistance. Their focus is on reducing or eliminating workplace hazards. To this end, employers must provide personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks, or earplugs to employees in conditions that require their use. OSHA requires employers to provide ventilation systems for employees working with chemicals, post information and train employees on hazardous chemicals, and keep records on any injuries or illnesses on the worksite.
