Townsend Chemicals has been supplying and developing resins and plastic raw materials for over 40 years. Established in 1974, Townsend’s laboratories developed a broad range of high performance polymers to replace and improve existing products. The company expanded in the 1980’s providing adhesive raw materials to the emerging footwear industry in Asia.

From these innovative beginnings, Townsend’s commitment to superior quality solutions and a test and learn ethos evolved.

Townsend Chemicals is 100% Australian owned by Mirlex Australia and has a network of international agents. We are proud to partner with customers and research institutions to continue developing technologies and products to support local and global industries. Ours is a team approach, where all aspects of the business from R & D to production to sales work together to provide innovation, excellence and problem solving.
