Our philosophy
We are more than producers of release agents and purging compounds. We are agents of change, passionately helping to define the future of manufacturing. What many consider an unimportant element in the manufacturing process, we consider vital. Why? Because it represents efficiency. Less waste. Greater sustainability. More possibilities.
It starts with our people, the most capable in the industry, who begin each day focused on your business, your challenge, your future. Born from an entrepreneurial spirit and backed by global powerhouse Freudenberg, we are both global and responsive. Bold and caring. Premium and a tremendous value.
From small die cast parts to massive turbine blades, from tires to composites, from aerospace to packaging, we are with you. In your facility. In our lab. On call.
To us, this is more than a solution. It is a passion. And we strive to be the most dependable, trouble-free part of the entire manufacturing process. We are Chem-Trend. And together, we create certainty. We enable success. And we release innovation.™
History
It started small. Peer Lorentzen, a chemical engineer, aided by his wife Birgit, a chemist herself, experimented with the development of release agents for polyurethane foam in the kitchen of their home. They saw a need, and with an entrepreneurial spirit, they expanded rapidly. After sending out many sample jars of their newly developed product, they moved production out of their home and into a rented garage in Howell, Michigan. Thus began the story of Chem-Trend.
Innovation has always been at the core of the company. Initially serving the die cast industry, the company invented a water-based lubricant. This was the first glimpse at a company built on pushing the envelope of what is possible, what is safe, and what is sustainable.
As the years passed, expansion happened globally. New industries were served. New solutions were developed. As manufacturing techniques evolved, Chem-Trend remained in front, helping enable each improvement.
The growth of the company was also fueled by best-in-class acquisitions: GreenChem. The PERMA-MOLD® product line. The Pura® line of polyurethane products. Chemlease®. Zyvax®. Huron Technologies. Ultra Purge™.
Today, with parent company Freudenberg, we are now truly a global presence, serving nearly every manufacturing industry and leading the the release agent and purging compound industries in innovation, in research, and in sustainability. We’d love to put our power to work for you.
