Founded in 1982 by its President, Charles Hinnant, Charkit Chemical Corporation offers a wide range of products to the specialty chemical, flavor and fragrance, personal care, food, pharmaceutical, imaging, water treatment and metal treatment industries, among others. In 2007, Charkit celebrated the milestone of its 25th year of continuing growth.

Charkit maintains many domestic and worldwide supplier relationships, enabling the company to provide some of the newest, most technologically advanced solutions in overcoming product development challenges. A Charkit team of technical and marketing experts is available to assist customers, starting with the most effective sourcing through manufacturing, warehousing and distribution services across the nation. Charkit is in a unique position to source both the most sought-after and the most rare specialty chemicals, with the added assurance that these can be supplied at the greatest cost efficiency in the quantity that is required.

Charkit’s adherence to quality practices is evident in its participation in the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) Responsible Distribution Process (RDP). The largely unique process calls for third party verification requirements as well as compliance to measures that ensure low toxic emissions, low worker injuries and fatalities, fewer lost days, lower insurance premiums and better relationships with customers, regulators, legislators and local communities.

Charkit Chemical Corporation is affiliated with Arran Chemical Company Limited, Athlone, Ireland, Optima Chemical Group LLC, Douglas, Georgia, and Diversitec Corporation, Ft. Collins, Colorado, enabling us to offer exemplary custom manufacturing and contract manufacturing services. Arran brings 20 years experience in manufacturing chiral amines, other chiral synthons and a range of pharmaceutical intermediates to Charkit’s growing resources for pharmaceutical companies. Here in the United States, Optima’s full service custom synthesis program and strength in custom/toll manufacturing perfectly complement these capabilities. Optima’s well established leadership in boronic acid derivatives allows Charkit to meet the demands of modified Suzuki coupling reactions, so crucial in drug discovery processes. Diversitec offers positive and negative diazo compounds, polyvinyl phosphonic acid, various polymers, resins, and specialty dyes. All three companies will work with customers from product development in their labs through manufacturing.

From the very beginning, Charkit built a reputation as a leading provider of unique specialty chemicals, as well as hydrazine and hydrazine derivatives, toluene derivatives, including benzyl alcohol and benzyl chloride, and imaging chemicals. Over the years, the company expanded its capabilities to become a notable provider of high performance ingredients, so that today Charkit is recognized as a leading supplier to the personal care, flavor and fragrance, aroma chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as being a source for product development, manufacturing, and warehouse/distribution solutions.
