SOPREMA US announced the expansion and rebranding of its Schoolcraft facility, formerly known as Chem Link. A ribbon-cutting and celebration event will be held on Wednesday, June 25, to mark the official transition to SOPREMA Schoolcraft, reflecting the facility’s integration and continued importance within the broader company operational footprint.

Acquired by SOPREMA in 2016, the Chem Link brand has maintained its reputation for high-performance sealants and adhesives. Today, Schoolcraft continues to manufacture Chem Link products while embracing a new era of innovation, growth, and alignment with the company's broader vision.

This building expansion and rebranding reflect the growth of our capabilities and our continued commitment to delivering trusted high-performance solutions to our customers.”
