We add the “performance” to a vast variety of products that are part of our daily lives, from the car you drive to the chips in your computer. Chances are, not a day goes by that you do not use a product that contains or has been manufactured using a King additive. While our additive functions are technical by nature, in short these specialty chemicals impart desirable, value-added properties to the end uses they are apart of. Whether a King catalyst used to cure an automotive coating while saving energy or a King rust preventive extending a lubricant’s life, they indeed add the performance that a consumer expects from their product choices. Often used at levels as low as parts per million, King additives, are an integral component to formulations of some of the biggest names in the chemical, rubber and oil industries worldwide. While many have been loyal customers for decades, we are constantly challenged by them and others to develop new products that provide even higher standards of performance. It is this challenge of providing innovative high performance additives that drives our business

"Chemline was founded in a garage in 1997 by John Pantanella. Three years before founding the company, he worked in the industry and gained the knowledge and experience needed while working nights and weekends on his own formulas that would eventually be Chemline’s first products. In the early days of the company, Chemline rented lab, office and warehouse space and shared a few key staff members with another coating manufacturer. While this company answered phones and handled logistics, John focused on selling and technically supporting the products. After 8 months, a steel tank manufacturer gave Chemline its first order, and word began to spread about the performance of Chemline products and exceptional service. With the help of a consulting firm, Chemline took the necessary steps to help with the burst in growth by hiring talented chemists and technical experts from the industry (all of which are still with us today). By adding key personnel, Chemline was positioned to grow again and over the next 7 years, producing $12M in revenue. The decision was made to purchase a building located in St Louis, MO and Chemline began manufacturing its own product in 2004. After attracting a few industry pros, Chemline began to grow again and made several successful acquisitions. In 2010 sales hit $17 M and Chemline was on a roll! We purchased more buildings, more equipment and one more business – TA Davies. TA Davies gave Chemline a footprint on the west coast and our message resonated with consumers. The California business grew from $1.5M to $10M in revenue in 4 years, and by 2015, Chemline had grown to $50M in revenue.
