Chem-Master International Inc. is a privately held company that for over 23 years has been providing contract R&D in organic and medicinal chemistry. The company is managed and owned by experienced scientists who have a combined experience of 75 years of industrial and academic research. With a staff of 14 full time Ph.D scientists and additional laboratory technicians and support staff Chem-Master International offers cost effective services for any R&D project.
Founded in 1994 the company is located within the Stony Brook University (NY) campus under the aegis of the Long Island High Technology Incubator. With the need for additional space the company is looking to expand its facilities by adding additional laboratories with construction scheduled to finish in early 2010. Our facility is easily accessible to clients via the New York and New Jersey regional airports. in 1994, Chem-Master International's long standing relationship with our clients are a testament to its “Best in Class” services. With excellent return on investment and superior customer support we maintain a diverse client base both within the U.S. and Europe. To date the company's growth can be attributed almost solely to client referrals, a measure of our reputation. Our credo is to provide products and services of the highest quality at reasonable cost.
