Americhem

Americhem is an active specialty polymer materials company that designs and manufactures custom color masterbatch, additive masterbatch, engineered thermoplastic compounds, and related performance materials for industrial and healthcare applications. In healthcare, the company supplies medical-grade polymer compounds and colorants used in devices such as auto-injectors, inhalers, nebulizers, surgical instruments, diabetes management systems, continuous glucose monitors, diagnostics consumables, and point-of-care equipment. Its business is commercial rather than therapeutic drug development, so it does not operate a conventional biotech pipeline; instead, it provides formulated material solutions, regulatory support, testing, and global manufacturing for OEMs. Americhem was founded in 1941, is headquartered in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and operates manufacturing and sales sites across North America, Europe, and Asia. In 2025, Pritzker Private Capital agreed to acquire a majority stake in the company, with the business continuing to operate under the Americhem name.
