Company Overview

At Critical Chemicals Company, we develop new routes to make organometallic and metal organic products to support innovators in the specialty chemical and cleantech industries. We focus on making challenging chemistry safe, scalable and economically viable to ensure our clients’ needs are met.

The products we make are often utilized as catalysts in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fine chemicals industries to enable complex chemical synthesis. Critical chemicals are also used as advanced precursors in semi- and superconductor applications. Most recently they have enhanced the performance of emerging energy enabling technologies.

Our mission is to enable the delivery of Critical Chemicals to meet our customer’s needs. We achieve this through our offering of chemical route design, process development and scale-up resourcing, to reduce risk and ensure long-term supply stability from a US location.

What Makes Critical Chemicals Company Unique & Different

Critical chemicals are needed by markets such as pharmaceuticals and electronics but are also required by industries to enable the new energy transition. At Critical Chemicals Company, we design novel routes to produce specialty chemicals in a US location, enabling:

  • Control of Intellectual Property or Know-How

  • De-risking of supply chains and increasing supply sustainability

  • Enabling challenging chemistry, with a focus on safety and scalability

  • Offering flexible business model to support innovation

Supply chain disruption due to geopolitical issues have caused cost increases and loss of productivity for end-users, in some cases specific chemicals have also become unavailable.
