You bet it does! And here’s why…

At American Chemical, we knew we had to set ourselves apart from our competitors. So we looked around at what they were doing and did just the opposite:

• We created our own laboratory manned by adhesives specialists so we can customize adhesives for your special projects
• We decided to keep each center small, fast, and nimble so if you call us needing adhesives for a rush job, we can get it to you now, not in two weeks
• We’ve made it a point not to sell anything BUT adhesives and glues because our customers want to buy from an adhesives expert, not a catalog clerk
• And we’ve created a website (and our own product line) devoted solely to green adhesives because that’s what our clients are asking for and it’s the right thing to do

Our Mission Statement is pretty simple…

American Chemical, Inc. values our customers and views success as being solely dependent upon the ability to help our customers succeed by using our adhesive, sealants and technical services. Our entire staff is dedicated to serving you, our customer. We know this philosophy works because we earn more new sales from referrals by satisfied customers than any other source.

Our Vision Statement is to keep our employees focused on you…

• Consistently maintain customer satisfaction
• Grow from a regional to a national and world wide suppler of adhesives, sealants and technical service
• Recommend and promote more green adhesive products and packaging
• Partner with other adhesive suppliers to further improve service to our customers
• Maintain a culture of social responsibility and pride for our community

Our Diversity Statement helps us support each other…

At American Chemical, Inc. we respect the differences that make each of us unique, and valuing diversity is a key component of our organizational culture.

We recognize and leverage the many aspects of diversity in order to help create an environment where all employees can thrive and contribute to American Chemical’s growth and success.

And lastly, our Business Philosophy lets you know where we stand

• Our first responsibility is to serve our customers;
• Second is the well being of the employee;
• Third is profit;
• And lastly, a percentage of profit and / or time and talent shall be given back to the community.

Philosophy inspired by Elmer L Anderson,
Former Governor of Minnesota
Former President & CEO of HB Fuller Company
