GeeJay Chemicals Limited are a family company that have been established in Sandy, England for over 35 years, progressing to a purpose built building, opened in 2007.

Desiccant silica gel sachets were first made in 1984. Today, four modern machines make sachets of weights ½ gram, 1 g, 3 g, 5 g, 10 g, 25 g, 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg. Larger bags (2½ kg to 10 kg) are made using industrial sewing machines.

Silica gel sachets account for most of our output – both non-indicating (white) and self-indicating (orange to green and blue to pink) types. Molecular sieve sachets (grades 3A, 4A and 13X) and desiccant clay sachets (½ unit to 32 unit) are also regularly made.

All of these desiccants, plus activated alumina, are also sold in bulk in a variety of containers from 40 gram aluminium foils to 150 kg steel drums. Humidity indicator cards complete the product range.

Being a small company, we are very flexible and while the standard range of sachets is kept in stock for prompt delivery, many other items are also made. Sachets can be made of non-standard weights and shapes, with special printing or custom packed in individual polybags or foils. Sachets in cotton, sachets in bandoliers and sachets with hanging tapes attached are all available.

From the outset ‘service’ and ‘quality’ were, and still are, the priorities of the business.
Service, as illustrated above, through supply to customer’s requirements and the ability to
provide flexible quantities, non-standard pack sizes and urgent deliveries. In 1991, with only
three employees, we developed a quality system that was audited, approved and registered
by the British Standards Institute to BS5750. This has developed through to the current Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015.

Over the years, export sales have grown to include over 50 different countries and 20% of our turnover in 2018.
