About Chemex
Five decades of chemistry.
One mission: outperform
Performance First
Every formulation is tested and optimized to deliver measurable results. We don’t cut corners we outperform.
True Partnership
We invest in our customers’ success with free equipment programs, on-site training, and dedicated technical support.
Reliability
Consistent product quality, on-time delivery, and a team that picks up the phone. Simple — but rare in this industry.
Our Story
Founded in 1974, Chemex has spent over fifty years developing and manufacturing high-performance cleaning chemicals for the vehicle wash and industrial cleaning industries.
From our industrial scale manufacturing facility in Bridgeview, Illinois, we produce more than 200 proprietary formulations from tunnel wash pre-soaks and drying agents to heavy-duty truck wash degreasers and USDA-approved tank wash solutions.
What sets us apart isn’t just our chemistry it’s our commitment to partnership. Many of our customers have been with us for 15 years. That kind of loyalty isn’t built on contracts. It’s built on consistent results, responsive service, and the understanding that your success is our success.
Today, Chemex serves car wash operators, fleet managers, food-grade tanker companies, and industrial facilities across more than 30 states and we’re just getting started.
