Company Profile
Recochem is a Canadian owned, privately held company with a reputation for aggressive market penetration and diverse distribution channels. The Company, founded in 1951 by Joseph Kuchar, who remains active as a full-time employee and Chairman of the Board, has grown into a diversified, highly automated global entity.
Since our inception, we have been known for innovation, agility, growth and socially responsible business practices. Our reputation has earned us vendor appreciation awards from several major retail chains and excellent relationships with our suppliers around the world.
Recochem’s Consumer Division (North America) is a producer, formulator, contract packager and wholesale distributor of chemical products from four locations. We are strategically located in Montréal, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver, so we can ship identical products to any location coast to coast and south of the border.
In addition to our large line of household and hardware products, for the past 20 years we have been formulating and distributing a wide range of automotive liquids. In 1997, we purchased Dow Chemical’s technology that led to an extensive expansion of our Alberta plant and the building of a blending facility and state of the art laboratory. We can perform ASTM testing and can offer the latest in coolant technology, such as Organic Acid Technology for Long Life Coolants, as well as expert technical support throughout North America, Australia and Asia Pacific.
Our International Division includes Naphthalene refining in Canada and Belgium, as well as an Australian facility that manufactures and distributes a broad range of Industrial and Consumer chemicals.
Every one of our locations is ISO 9001:2008 certified. This assures our customers consistent quality and “on-spec,” identical products from every plant, every time.
Recochem takes pride in fostering a culture committed to service and quality and outstanding responsiveness to customer needs.
