About Us
A brief history :
It all began in a garage in Kew Melbourne around 1960 ..My parents Leonard and June Williams pictured above were very hard workers ..originally they had a property at Diggers Rest just 30 mins from Melbourne where my father ran his dream thoroughbred stud farm ..Chelandry Park of some 1000 acres he bought in 1950 $AUS 100,000 !
The early years were cold running water and freezing winters starting fires in the middle of the night for their frostbitten sheep herd and pregnant mares running into fences regulary loosing their new born ...and the loss of several expensive newly imported sires to snake bite and horse shipping crates being dropped from the ship at Port Melb on arrival etc which was all part of their first few years ! They did however love breeding their horses and seeing their offsprings progeny sold at auction and going to UK and France to source their stallions so they took the good with the bad ..times !
It was tough early times for the young Williams family though overall .Having seen my grandfather(he sold mini harps door to door in the depression to make a living ! ) doing it tough in the whoesale furniture business in Melbourne my father decided to sell his dream farm to clear all his fathers debts and bail him out which was very noble..of him indeed to help the family giving up his dream.. .. He then moved to Melbourne his father and family now totally debt free starting from scratch and set up his new Melbourne based commercial business he quickly dreamt up and founded Amery Trading Co selling business shirts to all the high rise offices and factories growing rapidly in Melbourne and did very well..All his stock he stored in a garage from our home and he had no shops..or overheads..Mum and dad would make the orders up in the freezing garage I can still remember till 3 am in the mornings sometimes and then Leonard would then start his days delievries at 8 am !! All the offices and factories bought directly his shirts at very low prices ..no middle man or shops and the business really flourished !
From 1973 we moved to Sydney and in 1980 commenced Australian Pacific Oil Co which sold oils and chemcials which was the foundings of ACI today ...My parents continued working hard in the new oil business my father tele -calling thousands of service stations and mechanics and earthmovers each year to drum up new sales while my mother chased the accounts ..tirelessly never ending work !
ACI...
ACI,s beginnings are very humble ..It all began in a tiny storage room about 5 meters wide by 20 mtrs deep in Annandale Sydney we leased for $60 a week in 1980 whereby my mother first thought after seeing so many cars on the road one day in Newcastle north of Sydney we should venture into automotive oils as the market seemed huge and hence we purchased our first semi trailer load of Esso lubricants in Sydney with our own label stencilled on those drums and from that day we then entered the oil and chemical world ..never looking back..
ACI 41 years on has grown to now import and sell all types of chemicals for the oil,paint,ink,solvent,mining,chemical and cosmetic industries supplying all states of Australia ..We also are Australia,s largest surplus chemical broker helping many companies like BP,Orica ,Ixom,Halliburton and Mobil sell their high quality redundant chemicals to our many buyers /outlets in Australia and overseas converting slow moving or unwanted stocks into liquid funds for them…allowing us to do all this hard work in sourcing homes ..for our clients..
Some of our past surplus chemicals brokerage work includes help selling 200,000 ltrs of floatation agent/surfactant for Halliburton . Some 15-20 semi loads of redundant automotive greases for Shell.. Our most recent work is to help clear 400,000 ltrs of Oleic acid and (which we've just sold 100,000 ltrs in AUS ond OS ) 700 tonne of Ethanol just in. Also our waste division just disposed of 140,000 ltrs of waste Sodium Sulphide and Nitric acid for one of the mines!
