“Our goal is to give our customers , when they want it.”SHERYL SOUTHWELL, PRESIDENT & CEO
PRODUCT GUIDES
Our focusOur roots date back to 1969, when Ray Southwell started Specialty Polymers with a goal to provide high quality, innovative products to the coatings industry. Since then, Specialty Polymers has grown to include multiple manu-facturing sites and more than 300 different products.
Sheryl Southwell, Ray’s daughter, is committed to continuing to expand the company’s operations, markets served and high level of customer service.
Today, Specialty has more than 100,000 square feet of combined manufacturing space at our two
locations. To support our growing business, we continue to invest in increasing our production capacity, as well as our customer technical development and support team. Recently, we expanded our polymer and applications labs at our Chester site. In January 2016, we completed a major expansion at our Chester plant, adding a state-of-the-art 6,000-gallon reactor.
