Welcome to the Chem-Trend brand.

Introduction

It’s a new day at Chem-Trend. While we have been an industry leader for decades, we haven't always presented ourselves as one to the markets we serve. We are about to change that! We invite you to understand and take full advantage of our new focused, refined, and powerful brand.

Message Focus

The things for which our brand stands.

  1. Expertise

    Our people are what set us apart. The intelligence, energy, and drive of the Chem-Trend team provide more than products/solutions. They come complete with a global network of the very best minds in release agents, purging compounds and related chemical specialties.

  2. Innovation

    We’re preparing for your next innovation with you. And we’re doing so in a sustainable, forward-looking way. Always with performance as our goal.

  3. Leadership

    We proudly hold a leadership position in our space, and we are proud to use our resources to help inform the manufacturing world, improving results and reducing issues.

  4. Premium Value

    We are not the least expensive solution. We don’t want to be. But, in the long run, visionary manufacturers understand the risks of using a lower-cost solution, and the stunning value of a dependable solution that doesn’t simply work better — it adds value.

  5. Customer-Centric

    We are laser-focused on our customers and their specific needs. We exist for the betterment of their business, helping them become more productive, more efficient, safer, more sustainable, and more prepared for what’s to come.

Brand Characteristics

The way we present ourselves.

  • Simple

    A global company with localized markets. Multiple applications in dozens of industries. A list of products. With all the complexity associated with this brand, we must find a way to present it simply from the top down.

  • Organized/​systemized

    We must organize and systemize the Chem-Trend brand. It is imperative that we build a cascading system that begins with a simple, compelling story, adding detail and specifics as it is applied.

  • Confident

    All communications must be concise. Definitive. Fact-based. We are leaders. Let us communicate from that enviable position.

  • Big Picture

    We cannot build this brand on features and benefits. It must be created on partnerships, stories, value, and outcomes. Features and benefits must come second. The brand’s story must begin at a 30,000-foot level.
