What Gold does

Aurum Chemicals is a privately held Mexican specialty chemical distribution company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Querétaro. The company represents prestigious international chemical manufacturers and distributes a broad portfolio of performance additives — including UV absorbers, processing aids (the proprietary Aurovin series), stabilizers, flame retardants, antioxidants, color concentrates, impact modifiers, plasticizers, lubricants, foaming agents, and silanes — to PVC processing customers and cable/wire manufacturers across multiple end markets (profiles, electrical cables, flexible packaging, pipes, bottles, medical articles, automotive, aerospace, defense, Datacom, and energy). It also supplies cable components and fibers for fiber-optic and electrical cabling applications, supported by the Aurum Research and Technology Center (ATC), which provides formulation expertise and technical service.

The business operates through a four-office international network: Querétaro (Mexican HQ), Miami (North American coverage), Panama City (regional HQ serving the rest of the world), and Shanghai (supplier development and quality audits in China). Aurum generates revenue by earning distribution margins on the resale of third-party specialty chemical products to transformation and manufacturing clients, supplemented by technical service and logistics fees for packaged and bulk deliveries, including complete shipments direct to plant or port. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by a bilingual (Spanish/English) website with contact-driven lead capture.

The company has maintained authorized representation agreements of unusually long duration, most notably over 20 years with Delta Tecnic, S.A. in color masterbatch, alongside partnerships with Galata Chemicals and other international principals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, patents, or regulatory actions are reported in the available data.
