Getz Advanced

What Getz Advanced does

Getz Advanced, the distribution brand of Louis T. Leonowens (Thailand) Limited (incorporated March 3, 1905), is a Bangkok-headquartered B2B distributor of chemicals, chemical products, and specialty ingredients connecting global foreign manufacturers with industrial and consumer-goods customers across Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, China, and Myanmar. The company is organized into two operating divisions — Life Sciences (serving Personal & Homecare and Food & Beverage manufacturers with surfactants, flavors, colors, sweeteners, juice concentrates, plant-based proteins, and collagen) and Industrial Solutions (serving paint & coating, plastic & rubber, packaging, printing ink, construction, metal casting, and adhesive sectors with pigments, resins, plasticizers, silicones, and functional polymers).

The company's underlying technology stack comprises application laboratories (coating labs in Thailand and Vietnam; personal care and food ingredients labs in Thailand; a food ingredients lab launching in the Philippines in Q1 2025) staffed by technical teams that co-develop OEM solutions with customers, complemented by warehousing and logistics infrastructure (10,000 sqm in Thailand with liquid repackaging capability; two warehouses each in Vietnam and the Philippines), business intelligence and data-driven systems enabling lean management and just-in-time delivery, and a B2B digital platform in Thailand.

Getz Advanced generates revenue primarily through transaction-based margins on chemical and ingredient distribution, with quote-based pricing tied to product specification, order volume, customer tier, and market conditions, and multi-year contract billing cadences. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct offices in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Metro Manila, and Shanghai, supplemented by regional trade show participation (Fi Asia Thailand and Fi Asia Indonesia) and channel partnerships with multinational principals such as Gold Coast Ingredients (US-based flavors and colors). The company holds USDA Organic Certification for its Food Ingredients Department, supporting its organic-certified product line.
