"Kerley Ink is one of the oldest remaining privately-owned ink manufacturing companies in the United States. It was officially founded in 1947 by Raymond Ambrose Kerley, but the company's roots in the graphic arts go back considerably farther than that. As a matter of fact, they go all the way back to 1909, the year that the famous Indian Chief Geronimo died. In that same year, the then 16 year-old future founder of Kerley Ink took the New York Central railroad from Schenectady, New York to Chicago to seek his fortune. There he found work as a ""printer's devil"" near downtown Chicago in a shop named The Regensteiner Press. The rest, as they say, is history. Even back in the 1920's and 1930's, Ray was quick to understand the significance of the revolution in mass communication that was taking place in America. Ray saw during his career as a printing professional how the business of large-volume printing had been growing at a nearly explosive rate since the late 1800's. By the end of the 1920's, Ray Kerley had risen to the job of pressroom superintendent at The Cuneo Press in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By that time, Ray realized that there were many new pressrooms being constructed all across the nation, and that there was a concurrent boom in the business of companies that supplied those new pressrooms. An opportunity presented itself: start an ink manufacturing company to supply printing and converting firms in Wisconsin. Ray left his job in Milwaukee in 1932 for the town of Menasha, Wisconsin to start up the Lake States Printing Ink Company in an abandoned brewery."

"Founded in 2010 as a spinout from Professor Zhenan Bao’s chemical engineering laboratory at Stanford University, C3Nano is the developer of the solution-based, transparent conductive inks and films as direct replacements for indium tin oxide (ITO). Product designers and manufacturers are looking for viable development paths to meet the ever increasing demand for smarter, flexible touch sensor applications. At the same time, consumer electronics manufacturers are actively searching for a high-quality replacement to indium tin oxide (ITO). Limited indium supplies, high production costs and low sheet resistance, coupled with its inherent fragility and inflexibility make ITO unsuitable for large panel, curved and flexible displays. With the introduction of Activegrid™ transparent conductive films (TCFs) and inks, C3Nano has succeeded in shattering the ITO performance barrier to achieve industry-leading conductivity and transparency in TCFs and inks. C3Nano’s advancements in silver nanowire (AgNW) based technology enable 30 to 50 Ohms per square for a new generation of smart flexible devices with enhanced sensing functions. Activegrid™ offers product designers and manufacturers a development path to meet increasing demand for smarter, flexible touch sensor applications for the consumer electronics industry and beyond. C3Nano has raised $37 million in funding to date, which has enabled the company to quickly achieve best in class ink formulations and expanded production capabilities. C3Nano is headquartered in Silicon Valley with an industry leading manufacturing base in US and China."

"Founded in 1972 by Dr. Tom Smoot, Kor-Chem was first established as a water treatment and cleaning chemical manufacturing company. Kor-Chem quickly gained a strong reputation for quality products and service, being recognized several times by U.S. Defense Supply Center (DSCR) as a Gold Medal supplier. Building upon these successes, Kor-Chem then began to grow into other market segments such as foodservice and automotive aftermarket products. In 2001, Kor-Chem was acquired by John Fitzwater and family. With many years of corporate specialty chemical experience, Mr. Fitzwater brought a passion and focus on product innovation and technology development. This is especially true in the area of coating chemistry where Kor-Chem greatly increased its’ presence with many successful specialty coating product lines. Kor-Chem acquired the PneumaSeal products business from Pneumateck Industries in 2005. PneumaSeal, the original tire sealant, uses patented technology that prevents and fixes flats in any pneumatic (air-filled) tire. PneumaSeal has international distribution and served to further expand and diversify Kor-Chem’s customer base and product offerings. Turning its’ focus to the graphic arts industry in 2006, Kor-Chem acquired LCM, Inc. a distributor of screen printing chemicals and supplies and again in 2008 when it acquired Sundry Tech Inc. a wholesale distributor of screen printing chemistry. These acquisitions served as base for Kor-Chem’s rapid expansion of environmentally preferred screen printing chemistry products. To continue the trend expansion in graphic arts, Kor-Chem acquired Brewers Printing Ink of Georgia in 2012 and TW Graphics Florida/J&S Inks in 2015. Both companies had been successfully serving their markets for over 30 years. These acquisitions fully integrated Kor-Chem as a graphic arts resource, created additional manufacturing facilities and expanded the capabilities to ink, adhesive and pigment dispersion manufacturing for flexographic and screen printing applications. Today, Kor-Chem, Inc. continues to innovate as a growing leader in formulating and manufacturing specialty chemical solutions. The already impressive portfolio includes over 2000 products in institutional cleaners, industrial products, printing inks and cleaners, coatings, adhesives and pigment dispersions. Kor-Chem moves forward with a relentless commitment to delivering customers innovation, dedicated service and customized solutions."
