About Us

A leader in car-science and innovation since 1955, Chempak Solutions has been one of the most trusted, efficient and responsive private label manufactures in the industrial and automotive car care industry throughout the world. Our team is constantly striving to make advanced products that exceed our clients’ expectations, allowing them to offer their consumer base, top quality products that are second to none.

As a private label manufacture, Chempak Solutions provides a complete service focusing on product quality, client communication, technology & science and our commitment to on-time delivery.

Company History

Over 60 years ago, Chempak Solutions began its roots in Riverside California as a family distribution company for automotive detailing products. As the distribution grew, so did client demand. By the early 1980’s, we were offering our own paste wax, Surluster* to the North American and Asia Pacific markets. In 1992, Laurent Streichenberger took the reins of the family business and began expanding the services to include private label and manufacturing, concentrating on developing custom-made formulas geared towards our clients’ specific requests. Today, still run by the same family, and still made in southern California, our products are well-represented and continue to thrive around the world.

Company Philosophy

Our core values and primary focus are: product quality, client communication, technology and science, and our commitment to on-time delivery.

Product Quality: We strive to find the best possible, high-quality materials and manufacturing procedures that guarantee consistent product results that our clients’ customers can depend on.

Client Communication: Chempak Solutions has always encouraged open communication and listens to our clients and their customers’ feedback to determine what is and isn’t working. We believe open communication is an integral part of our success and helps us to determine and predict market variances and the needs and wants of the end-user.

Technology & Science: Finding the right solutions that matter the most is our priority. That’s why our chemists, alongside the research and development teams, can develop proprietary blends and formulas made specifically for our clients’ needs and wants. Our expertise extends to packaging specifications; guiding you toward packaging choices that are compatible with the formulas you have chosen is part of our service.

On time Delivery: We pride ourselves in always meeting deliverables. If your regular suppliers consider that “on time” delivery is optional, turn to us. We have the team and flexibility to accommodate your needs.
