In the American way, JARCHEM was founded in 1978 as a one product company, working from one small building in the industrial heartland of Newark, New Jersey. From its humble beginning, JARCHEM has grown into a multi-million dollar chemical manufacturing, distributing and marketing company.

    JARCHEM has chosen to remain in Newark because of its location adjacent to Port Newark, a gateway to worldwide ocean and air cargo transportation, as well as to major state and interstate highways.

    In 1987 JARCHEM acquired the Specialty Chemical Division of Fallek Chemical. This increased JARCHEM's ability to supply products with a distribution system that spans the globe.
