QualiChem recently opened a new Research Center in Salem, VA. This new facility contains expanded Laboratory space as well as additional Executive Offices and Boardroom. The Research Center Lab allows the company to better separate the manufacturing lab support functions from the product development lab activities. The Research Center also provides additional Executive office space to support the overall growth of the company.

The lab space within the facility spans over 3,000 sq. ft. and over 150 linear feet of bench space. Our lab also houses many of the instruments used to support our business such as our IC (Ion Chromatograph), FTIR Spectrophotometer, Gas Chromatograph, and Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer, in addition to other lab equipment.

QualiChem is happy to announce that we recently opened a new water treatment manufacturing facility in Verdi, NV, located just outside of the Reno area. This manufacturing plant offers the same level of quality products as our plants in Salem, VA that QualiChem is known for and is managed by long term QualiChem staff that relocated from our Salem location. Since our last expansion, with a new facility in Salem, VA in 2017, QualiChem has had continued growth allowing for this West Coast expansion.
