[Learn more about our founder]

Since 1959, Brainerd Chemical has grown from a supplier of chemicals for research facilities, industrial plants and agricultural operations, into a major regional supplier, with over 2500 customers in 40 states. Integrity, safety and commitment to our customers are the primary focus of our operations.

In the last 25 years we have become an industry leader with wholesale pharmaceutical, cosmetic, contract packaging and logistic facilitating for larger organizations. High purity research and medical use chemicals are cornerstones of our product line.

We say that our only commodities are chemicals and SERVICE. Our track record proves that safety, government compliance, and solving customer problems year after year are the actions backing up our promise.

Brainerd Chemical is committed to supply chemicals in a safe and compliant manner, while putting the safety of our customers, the public and own staff first. Our family tradition is one of service and stewardship, and even in an ever changing business market, our core values have kept us independent and financially vibrant.

We’re very proud of our people, and they are carefully selected to continue to represent our company with integrity, serve our customers with dedication, and to provide the elements of technical expertise and specialized knowledge needed when working with chemicals.

Our company trucks and drivers deliver throughout the region and are trained for off-loading and handling. We move over 15 million lbs per month by rail, truck and courier. Because Brainerd has a 1000-foot rail spur and bulk storage capacity, we are equipped to support medical research and manufacturing facilities of all sizes.
Difficult to handle products such as: 99% Nitric Acid, 70% and 50% Hydrofluoric Acid, Formaldehyde, Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Ferric Chloride, and Sodium Hypochlorite are some of the bulk storage items handled routinely in our facility. We are the largest producer of 50% Citric Acid and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol in Oklahoma.

Brainerd Chemical is located on 10 acres, with 5 buildings specifically designed for our packaging operations. Our facility is located in a FREE ENTERPRISE ZONE, which gives us the capability to import chemicals directly to our location, with customs clearing on-site. As our operations expand to better serve new and our valued existing customers, Brainerd Chemical remains committed to provide the highest quality in both chemicals and service.
