Richman Chemical: One Entrepreneur’s Story - Joseph Priestley Society

Ed Richman started a chemical manufacturing business without customers, products, technology, facilities, money, smoke, or mirrors. Now, 27 years later, still no products, technology, facilities, smoke, or mirrors but at least plenty of customers and some money too. As a preferred outsourcing partner to life-science, specialty-chemical, and emerging technology companies, Richman Chemical provides custom manufacturing, product sourcing, and project management solutions that save time and are cost-effective.

Working primarily with North American partners, Richman Chemical places and manages custom manufacturing projects and also custom-sources raw materials. By streamlining the project management process, the company delivers lower costs and accelerates the time to market for clients' products. When appropriate, Richman Chemical also sources from qualified partners in Asia and Europe. The company identifies the solution that works best for each client and then pursues, manages, and ultimately delivers it.
