What Reach Global Services does

Reach Global Services (RGS) is a privately-held regulatory consultancy founded in 2008 in Brussels, Belgium, by the Istanbul Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters' Association (IKMIB), the Istanbul Minerals and Metals Exporters' Association (IMMIB), and the Steel Exporters' Association. The company provides professional regulatory compliance services to chemical and cosmetics manufacturers, importers, and exporters requiring access to EU and Turkish markets. Core offerings span Only Representative (OR) services under EU REACH and Turkish KKDIK, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) preparation in 54+ languages, EU Cosmetics Regulation compliance (Responsible Person designation, Product Information File, Cosmetic Product Safety Report, CPNP notification), SEA/Turkish CLP classification and labeling, and increasingly newer regulatory frameworks including CBAM/SKDM carbon reporting, RoHS, GPSR (EU) 2023/988, Ukraine REACH, and PIC/ÖBK hazardous chemical notifications.

The firm's technical infrastructure centers on the proprietary RGS Portal, a free online data management platform for REACH clients that enables substance information tracking, tonnage monitoring, downstream user management, certificate generation, and SDS distribution, built on Microsoft Power Apps Portals. Service delivery is supported by in-house chemists, chemical engineers, and environmental engineers holding master's and doctoral degrees, with experts certified by the Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change as Chemical Assessors. The firm holds ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 9001 (quality management), and ISO 10002 (customer satisfaction) certifications.

RGS operates through a dual-entity group structure: parent REACH Global Services S.A. headquartered in Brussels (for proximity to the European Commission, CEFIC, and Cosmetics Europe) and wholly-owned REACH Global Services Danışmanlık A.Ş. (RGS A.Ş.) in Istanbul (for direct engagement with Turkish industrial clients). Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a quote-based engagement model, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (expert consultancy engagement), inside sales (phone and web-based contact forms), and self-service via the RGS Portal for existing clients. Since inception, the firm has served 1,600+ producers across 62-77+ countries, with named reference customers concentrated among Turkish chemical, petrochemical, cement, cosmetics, and metals enterprises.
