We are pleased to announce Thames River Chemical’s (TRC) acquisition of Princeton Chemicals as of May 1st.
About TRC
Thames River Chemical (TRC), founded in 2006, is a leading family-owned ingredients
supplier serving thousands of clients across North America. TRC specializes in
manufacturing, sourcing and distributing a wide range of ingredients for industries
including, but not limited to, Animal Nutrition, CASE, Oil/Gas, HI&I, and Personal Care.
Built on strong family values, TRC emphasizes personalized service, long-term
relationships, and integrity, which have been key to its growth and reputation in the
industry.
About Princeton Chemicals
TRC has acquired Princeton Chemicals as part of our continued commitment to growth
and customer value. Princeton has a strong reputation as a trusted supplier of raw
materials to the nutraceutical, food, industrial, ink, and especially personal care and
cosmetic industries in the USA. This acquisition aligns with our vision to broaden our
reach and better serve our customers with an even more robust and diverse portfolio.
The decision reflects our belief in the power of partnerships to drive innovation, expand
capabilities, and enhance service.
About This Partnership
Most importantly, this strategic acquisition brings together the strengths of both
organizations. TRC’s personal care and cosmetic customers will now enjoy access to
exciting new suppliers— especially as pertaining to natural ingredients—through
Princeton’s well-established network. Conversely, Princeton’s customer base will
benefit from TRC’s expansive ingredient portfolio, particularly our leading position on
many surfactants, as well as access to our experienced customer service and logistics
teams, global sourcing capabilities, in-house lab and formulation expertise, and largescale
blending operations. Together, we’re excited to build on our shared values and
deliver an elevated level of service and offering through this larger, more dynamic
platform. Richard Small will be joining the TRC family, and will continue to serve his
valued customers as he has done over the last decade.
