Simchem was founded in 1992 by Ray Simmons to sell various adhesives in the Southeastern United States. Over time, the companies evolved into a supplier of Starch Additives and Adhesives to the Corrugated Industry. Later, Re-pulpable Waxes and Wax Replacement Products were added to SimChem's range of products. 

​

Today, SimChem's business is a combination of proprietary Starch Additive Chemicals and Re-pulpable Wax Products from South Chicago Packing.
