Founded in 2009 and based in Agawam, Massachusetts, Applied Chemistries develops and manufactures specialty chemical products designed for professional offset printing environments. The company was founded by Brian St. Pierre, a longtime printing industry professional who saw the need for cleaner, safer, and more effective pressroom chemistry. That experience led to a line of innovative solutions that combine scientific precision with real-world pressroom performance.

Applied Chemistries has earned a strong reputation for its practical, results-driven approach to printing chemistry. Their team works directly with printers to troubleshoot on-press challenges such as roller glaze, calcium buildup, and inconsistent ink-water balance. They are especially known for their alcohol-free and UV/LED-compatible fountain solutions, low-VOC cleaners, and plate care products that improve quality while reducing environmental impact. Each formula is developed and tested in-house, ensuring consistent performance across sheetfed, web, and digital offset workflows.

Beyond their standard product lines, Applied Chemistries also provides custom formulation, toll blending, and private labeling services for companies seeking specialized chemistries. This flexibility makes them a trusted partner for printers who demand consistency, adaptability, and dependable support in an ever-changing production environment.
