"American Coding and Marking Ink Co. Inc. was established in 1971 by Robert S. Sweet, a chemical specialties consultant, to fill a void left by the closure of a local ink manufacturing company. In 1986, Robert retired, and his son Thomas became president. Thomas began his career with ACMI in the production department in 1971. Over the years, he has worked in all operational areas. December 2013 brought exciting change as Thomas Sweet Jr. took over as President after 18 years with the company. The company's first products were inks and solvents used by supermarkets as well as general purpose marking and stenciling inks. In the early 1970's, when the government banned the use of FD&C Violet #1 in meat branding inks on short notice, ACMI was one of the companies asked to help supply reformulated meat branding inks, to meat packers who found themselves unable to use the ink they had on hand. In 2001 ACMI was the 1st company to register their meat branding inks with NSF. ACMI also discovered a great need for the development of inks for special applications. Throughout the country, companies were developing new products and processes and needed inks to meet new requirements. As the years progressed, ACMI developed a large number of special application inks, including high temperature resistant, epoxy, tree marking, IR transparent, optical scanner readable and many more. ACMI has also leveraged its manufacturing and R&D expertise to custom manufacture dye solutions, pigment dispersions and other non-colored chemical mixes, as well as manufacturing government specification rubber stamp ink for the GSA and stamp cancelation ink for the US Post Office."

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.

PneumaSeal, the original tire sealant, uses patented technology that prevents and fixes flats in any pneumatic (air-filled) tire.

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.

"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.
