Chemical supply in Toronto, Ontario
Mississauga and Brampton hold many of Canada's generic drug manufacturers, and the Greater Toronto Area adds biotech start-ups, academic research groups, food processors and an automotive supply chain that buys coatings and plastics additives. For these buyers Zemixal supplies APIs, pharmaceutical intermediates, lab reagents, solvents and reference standards from Ahmedabad. Containers sail from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Montreal or Halifax and finish the journey by rail or road, while smaller research orders fly from Mumbai or Ahmedabad into Pearson. A certificate of analysis and a 16-section GHS SDS accompany every lot, which supports Canadian import checks and the paperwork Health Canada expects for active ingredients.
