Our story
After almost thirty years in the chemical products industry, chemical engineer Jose Rodriguez founded Aktopa. From the onset, the vision for the company was clear: deliver chemical solutions that go beyond the status quo. All too often, limitations imposed on chemical market participants leave them feeling unheard and unsupported. Jose knew that he could leverage his career-established relationships, technical know-how, and bold entrepreneurial vision, to generate better solutions for this sector of the chemical market. So, he did.
Today, Aktopa (which, in its indigenous Spanish roots, means first place) specializes in a chemical solutions business model that puts customers’ needs first. This foundational principle has driven the company’s operation, growth, and expansion for the last 20 years – a time during which Aktopa has gone from selling one product to providing over 100 different chemistries. Yet, despite its considerable growth, Aktopa has not wavered from its founding principle of unparalleled customer service.
