ProChem Inc. Announces Expansion with New Facility Addition

Rockford, IL – ProChem Inc. is pleased to announce the expansion of its facility with the addition of a new building on their existing site. This expansion is a continuation of their 5-year business plan to increase manufacturing space and capabilities. This will also meet the more recent market need to onshore critical raw materials driven by computer chip fabrication expansions in the US and CHIPS Act funding.

The additional space gives ProChem increased capability to offer flexible manufacturing and locations for additional capital investments to increase overall manufacturing capacity. ProChem’s recent renovations reflect their dedication to staying at the forefront of the industry.

How the Expansion Journey Began

In 2021, a 5-year expansion plan was launched with a focus on the future of advanced materials and creating a robust US based manufacturing source. In the course of 2022, they expanded their activities into diverse high-tech areas by supplying ‘Precursors for Precursors’ to the companies and researchers operating in such technology sectors as catalysis, thin film deposition, crystal growth, and energy generation and storage.

In 2023, ProChem completed their new R&D Laboratory as well as a renovation of their Analytical Laboratory with the addition of state-of-the-art instrumentation. By doing this, it has streamlined the production process and decreased lead times for their products.

As ProChem’s Founder and CEO, Reno Novak recently stated, “A lot of innovative products are sitting in college or university’s labs – we plan to identify those with commercial application and get them out of the shadows and into production.”
