About us

American Liquid Packaging Systems, Inc. (ALPS) was founded in 1979 and is presently headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. Chemtex was also formed in 1979 as a distributor of raw plastic resin materials, which is mainly used in common household and commercial products. ALPS and Chemtex merged in 1996 – Chemtex is now the oldest operating division of ALPS. Today, Chemtex has become the leading exporter of plastic raw materials to over 15 countries around the world including the Americas, Europe and Asia. The development in the petrochemical industry has spurred rapid growth and improvements in packaging applications worldwide especially with a broad range of polymer resins available for extrusion, blowmolding, and injection use. Plastic has significantly affected the way people live in a constantly changing environment.

Sensing this trend, Chemtex Global has adopted a more personal view of doing international business.
