ARROW CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, INC.

What ARROW CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, INC. does

Arrow Chemical Products, Inc. is a privately held, Kalamazoo, Michigan-based specialty chemical manufacturer that has operated for roughly a century, providing both contract chemical manufacturing services and a broad proprietary product catalog to commercial buyers across the United States. Its core technology is in-house chemical formulation and a flexible filling operation that handles a wide range of container sizes and types (gallon cases through 55-gallon drums and bulk), supported by in-house chemists who build custom formulations from customer briefs.

The company's commercial offering splits into two streams: (1) Arrow Brand off-the-shelf cleaning and specialty chemicals — spanning all-purpose cleaners, dishwashing detergents, sanitizers, disinfectants, floor finishes/strippers/sealers, food service chemicals, laundry products, restroom/mold & mildew products, vehicle detailing, and an environmentally preferable "Planet Care" sub-line — and (2) Custom Capabilities covering custom formulation, bottle filling and packaging, contract chemical manufacturing, and a turnkey private-label program for customers wanting to launch chemical products under their own brand. End markets advertised on the company site include industrial, foodservice, healthcare, restroom, grocery, laundry, vehicle, breweries, and childcare.

Arrow generates revenue through direct B2B sales to commercial accounts via its website, phone, and contact forms, with quote-based pricing and no e-commerce. No list pricing, customer logos, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, has 11–50 employees, has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or institutional investors, and reports no certifications, awards, patents, partnerships, M&A, or leadership changes in the available material.
