Campbell Chemicals - Panamex Pacific

Panamex Pacific

Panamex has built its business through the development of products and brands, tailored to the requirements of Pacific Island consumers. The first product was "Sudso" laundry powder, and the range has now expanded to include branded soap products such as "Max" and "Flora", "Three Cooks" instant noodles and cooking oil, "Zap" mosquito coils, "Five Star" canned mackerel, "Soft Baby" disposable diapers, "Freshh" toothpaste and toothbrushes and "Paradise" matches, to name just a few. Panamex works with a number of manufacturers throughout Asia to have products made to market requirements and packaged under our own brands.

In addition to our own brands and products, Panamex also represent some major New Zealand, Australian and Asian companies. These agencies include "Heinz", "Wattie's" canned and frozen goods, "Tip Top" ice cream; "ABC" batteries, and "Softlove" disposable diapers.

We have established business relationships, and regularly visit all major markets throughout the Pacific.
