Our Story
Schwartz Chemical opened its doors in Canada in 1969 as a specialty coatings company with strengths in sales and formulation. We had a staff of two.
The years leading to the raw materials shortage of 1973 were challenging, but by focusing on their needs, Schwartz Chemical was able to attract and hold a growing group of customers.
In 1973, Schwartz Chemical moved to its present address in Pickering, Ontario. Activity at the Pickering plant has grown steadily, and the plant was expanded in 1989.
Schwartz Chemical was purchased by new owners in 2004 and the plant was again expanded and redesigned to enhance its batch-making and packaging capabilities.
In 2023, Schwartz was purchased by it's current owners which are small group of private investors with track records of success across the chemicals, software, and manufacturing industries. Damian Smektala, who is part of this group, currently heads the company as President.
More than 55 years later, some aspects of the company remain constant. Schwartz Chemical staff continue to work hard to understand customer challenges, provide value-added solutions, and ensure on-time delivery.
Why Work with a 3rd Party Manufacturer?
The decision to outsource to a 3rd party manufacturer is generally driven by strategy, risk, or margin considerations. Strategically, it can be combination of finite production capacity, inefficient process, and/or storage considerations that will spur the decision. From a safety perspective, risk can originate either from inherent process risk due to the nature of the products, or a shortage of skilled labour that has the expertise required to work with these products safely. Finally, outsourcing to a partner who is closer to the consumer or who can produce at a lower costs due to scale or specialization can drive profitability.
