What Trust Chem does

Trust Chem Co., Ltd. (legal entity: Zhejiang Trustchem Technology Group Co., Ltd., 浙江信凯科技集团股份有限公司) is a China-headquartered specialty chemicals manufacturer of colorants founded in 1996 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Main Board (Stock Code: 001335.SZ) following its April 2025 IPO. The company develops, synthesizes, and supplies organic pigments (Monoazo, Diarylide, Disazo Condensation, Isoindolinone, Benzimidazolone, Quinacridone, DPP, Perylene, Anthraquinone, Rhodamine families), inorganic pigments (transparent iron oxides, Milori Blue, Ultramarine Blue), fluorescent pigments (HPS series), acid dyes (Lorset, Lorset PA, Lorset GH and other families), and chemical intermediates. Its 200+ SKUs serve industrial buyers in four primary applications: printing inks (offset, water-based, solvent-based, UV flexo), coatings (automotive OEM and refinish, industrial, powder, coil, decorative), plastics (polyolefins, PVC, PS, ABS, engineering plastics, rubber), and textiles (acid dye dyeing and printing), with explicit technical requirements such as light fastness, weather resistance, heat stability, migration resistance, and regulatory compliance with heavy-metal-free formulations.

The company operates an integrated manufacturing and distribution model. Two production bases at the Binhai Chemical Industry Park in Jinzhou, Liaoning (Trust Chem (Liaoning) Co., Ltd. and the dedicated Trust Chem (Liaoning) VioletSource Co., Ltd.) provide vertical integration into intermediates and finished pigments; the Hangzhou headquarters houses the R&D center, synthetic laboratory, and four application laboratories (Ink, Coating, Plastic, Textile); a Shanghai logistics and warehousing base supports export flows; and wholly-owned regional sales subsidiaries in the Netherlands, USA, Canada, UK, Türkiye, India, and Australia, plus a South African representative office, collectively serve customers in more than 80 countries. The company is ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified, has finalized registration of 89 substances under EU REACH with parallel compliance for UK REACH (DUIN) and Turkey\'s REACH-like regime, and was awarded an EcoVadis Bronze Medal for CSR in 2025. Pricing is quote-based through the direct sales network rather than publicly disclosed, and marketing relies on trade shows (CHINACOAT), company newsletters, LinkedIn, and a technical product catalog website.
