Meet the Member: Changje Trading Co. Ltd
Building Trust and Opportunity Across Borders
Founded in 1994 and based in Seoul, South Korea, Changje Trading Co. Ltd has spent more than three decades building a reputation as a reliable and forward-thinking trading company in the fine chemicals industry.
The company specialises in fine chemicals, performance intermediates, and diketene derivatives, and serves as an agent of Arxada in Korea for PMDA and other performance intermediates.
A Philosophy of Partnership and Transparency
At the heart of Changje’s operations lies a clear guiding philosophy:
“We can make all related players satisfied and happy, and enjoy our daily life with family through business.”
This principle defines how Changje approaches every relationship — with suppliers, customers, and within its own team. The company’s name itself reflects its values:
“Changje means creation from nothing, and making from something.”
Changje’s approach centres on openness, communication, and shared success — expressed through its four core values: Trust ↔ Open Mind ↔ Share Information ↔ Share Profit.
The company’s internal systems are built around these principles — from its 72-hour rule for feedback to a well-established internal reporting process — ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsiveness in every interaction.
Growing Through Collaboration
Changje became part of the INDIS Group in 1999, after what began as an unplanned meeting turned into a lasting professional relationship. Since then, the company has been an active participant in the network, benefitting from the group’s global perspective and exchange of knowledge.
Through INDIS, Changje has gained access to diverse opinions, market insights, and the expertise of experienced business leaders around the world. The group has also directly contributed to new opportunities — most notably when David from Camida introduced Changje to Arxada (formerly Lonza), leading to a successful partnership that continues today.
Sharing Knowledge, Building Trust
For Changje, the value of INDIS lies in its ability to connect companies across borders — fostering open discussion, market awareness, and collaboration. The group’s shared insight helps members stay competitive and innovative in an ever-changing global landscape.
With a strong foundation built on trust, transparency, and a global mindset, Changje Trading Co. Ltd continues to embody the INDIS spirit — creating value not just through trade, but through meaningful, lasting partnerships.
