About
Company Overview
ProChem, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Reno Novak as a manufacturing company producing high purity inorganic chemicals and materials. For over 38 years we have been supplying a variety of industries with unique rare earth, inorganic, and metal organic compounds. These products are utilized in a wide range of applications including computer chip technology, lasers, ceramics, alternative energy, and biomedical technologies.
In 1988 ProChem, Inc. began collaborating with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL) to produce the highest purity Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate for growing extremely large crystals which are used at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). On December 5th 2022, the NIF achieved fusion ignition by converting 2.05 megajoules of energy into 3.15 megajoules of fusion energy.
Since that time, we have expanded our product portfolio into over 1,200 items that have been supplied to industrial and academic customers. More recently ProChem, Inc. was proud to produce a catalyst for the emergency mass production of Remdesivir, also known as Veklury, which is an FDA approved medication for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
ProChem operates from a manufacturing site that encompasses over 25,000 square feet of manufacturing space. We manufacture at our facility in the US and responsibly source and test our raw materials to make sure that they are of the best quality possible.
As ProChem, Inc. continues to help the world innovate and thrive we look forward to partnering with you to provide you with the highest quality materials.
We continually strive to meet customers needs--be it through increasing production capabilities, having dedicated reactors, increased quality specifications, product specific packaging, and/or custom blending.
