Corporate biography

Chameleon Speciality Chemicals was established in 2007 and in 2008 received EIA environmental approval and business licence to establish a colorformer production plant in Lianyungang on China's east coast. The plant construction was completed in late 2009 and production started in 2010.

The company has been founded and managed by a team with extensive experience of the colorformer business. Chameleon Speciality Chemicals is a highly focused, independent supplier of colorformers which has been designed to create the most competitive set up for colorformer manufacture in the world, incorporating:

  • Industry leading knowledge of plant design, production processes and techniques, with a strong focus on safety and the environment.
  • Backward integration for key raw materials.
  • Plant located on China's east coast to allow ease of import/export, good access to skilled labour and favourable taxation incentives.
  • Low overheads compared to larger multinational competitors.
  • Joint investment with an equipment manufacturer to reduce plant investment costs.

Our goal is to provide a reliable, high quality, competitively priced, long term supply of imaging chemicals to the carbonless and thermal paper industries. Over time we will gain the confidence and approval of our customers and thereby establish prime supplier status.
