Swachem Windhoek

The Walter Street depot sits in Windhoek’s Southern Industrial Area, minutes from the fleet workshops, factories and wholesalers it supplies. It is the stockholding hub for inland Namibia: mines on the central belt, commercial farms to the north and east, government and municipal water plants, laboratories and schools all draw from Windhoek stock, with overnight road freight reaching most inland towns.

Swachem Windhoek: practical questions

Can I collect chemicals directly from the Walter Street depot?

Yes. The Windhoek depot at 2-8 Walter Street, Southern Industrial Area operates a trade counter during business hours, Monday to Friday. You can collect anything from a 330 ml pack to 210-litre drums, and our counter staff will help you load safely. For large or hazardous orders it helps to phone 061 235 051 ahead so stock is pulled, packed and documented before you arrive.

How quickly can Windhoek deliver to northern towns like Oshakati or Rundu?

Most orders placed before midday reach northern centres within one to two working days by scheduled road freight. Windhoek dispatches daily to Otjiwarongo, Tsumeb, Oshakati, Ondangwa and Rundu through established carriers, and hazardous goods are packed and declared correctly for road transport. For standing orders — a mine, factory or municipality drawing the same chemicals monthly — we can schedule recurring deliveries.

Does the Windhoek branch hold stock or order everything in?

Walter Street is a stocked depot, not a forwarding office. Fast-moving lines — acids, caustic soda, solvents, cleaning chemicals, pool chlorine, Woodoc, adhesives — are on the floor in multiple pack sizes. Slower specialities are brought in from our import pipeline, and because Swachem is the importer and agent, not a middleman, lead times on indent items are shorter than ordering from South Africa yourself.

Which industries does the Windhoek branch mainly serve?

Inland industry: mining operations on the central belt, agriculture across the commercial farming areas, municipal and NamWater treatment plants, Windhoek’s manufacturers and fleet workshops, laboratories, schools and cleaning companies. Windhoek also runs the accounts and technical support for national customers, with the Walvis Bay branch handling the coast. If your operation spans both, one account covers deliveries from either depot.
