CHEMDOX

What CHEMDOX does

CHEMDOX is a privately-held hazardous materials management software company that develops, sells, and supports a unified platform for authoring Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS), classifying chemicals under GHS/OSHA and national regulatory regimes, generating compliant hazard labels, translating documents across approximately 40 languages, and distributing SDS via ERP and document-management integrations. The platform is anchored by a curated regulatory content library of 20,000+ phrases and 200+ pictograms sourced from official legal terminology, and by classification calculators covering GHS implementations in roughly 50 countries including the EU (CLP/REACH), the United States (OSHA HCS), China (GB 13690), and numerous national variations.

The product portfolio is modular: a core platform with product database, legal content and substance database, and system integration capabilities, augmented by add-on modules for automatic classification, SDS authoring, SDS translation, hazard labeling (with a WYSIWYG editor), GHS compliance, SDS distribution (ERP/DMS/portal/cloud), and external labeling applications for production environments. Deployment options include on-premise installation, single-computer use, and CHEMDOX-hosted cloud including ISO 27001 certified dedicated hosting. The company maintains two legal entities — CHEMDOX GmbH in Vienna (European headquarters) and CHEMDOX Inc. in New York (Americas headquarters) — and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Austrian software developer UCS - unique computing solutions gmbh.

CHEMDOX generates revenue through enterprise software subscriptions sold on an annual cadence with ongoing updates and support, distributed via direct sales (phone/email), a certified regional partner channel (Yaveon, PART, GUS, Metacarp, SYCOR), and a 2-week product trial with online introduction. Target customers are chemical manufacturers and distributors that must comply with multi-jurisdictional GHS/OSHA requirements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The leadership team comprises CEO Anton Zrzavy, COO Maggi Szaran, and CTO Markus Plesser. The company has not raised external funding and operates at a headcount of 11–50 employees.
