About Us
NewLeaf Chemical Solutions was started in 2010 by Susan Kimball. After 12 years in the specialty chemical industry as a sales engineer, she chose to begin a company through which she could represent multiple suppliers, and by doing so, become a more valuable member of your manufacturing team. We provide a wide spectrum of chemical products and equipment to many industries as well as the technical support and service needed to maximize your efficiency and profitability. Our goal is to bring a complete solution to your company with a package that includes chemicals, equipment, testing and service requirements to free up your valuable time and reduce costs.
With more companies adopting a commitment to become "greener", NewLeaf Chemical Solutions will work with you to reach your goals through environmentally-friendly chemical choices, reduced energy consumption, and a safer workplace. If your company has not yet formalized a plan to promote "green" practices, we will assist you beginning with a site survey and follow through to the final implementation.
Let NewLeaf Chemical Solutions be your company's solution to the challenges facing you today.
Getting Started
Lets get you started on the road to greater efficiency and profitability!
At NewLeaf Chemical Solutions we follow a six-step program that ensures optimal results and builds a long-lasting business partnership.
Step 1: Facility Survey
The first step is a walk through your entire facility. We listen to the customer share “the good, the bad, and the ugly” of the current manufacturing process. We provide a fresh set of eyes to identify areas open to improvement. We need to understand your processes, your needs, and your long-term goals.
Step 2: Recommendations
You will receive a comprehensive report outlining our observations and recommendations including short- and long-term objectives. These may include process changes, innovative new chemistries and dispensing and control equipment systems. We will highlight those recommendations that we believe could
- · reduce labor costs
- · increase productivity
- · improve worker safety
- · improve product performance
- · reduce waste
- · reduce chemical costs
- · minimize environmental impact
Step 3: Implementation
On start-up, we provide an extensive training program with operators, supervisors, and management to ensure that everyone is on the same page. We set parameters from the outset as outlined in operation manuals and will work with you until you are completely comfortable with the new system. Test kits and instructions will be provided to ensure that you will be able to monitor and maintain your chemical baths.
Step 4: Training
Your operators must understand the chemicals and equipment around which they work. We provide Safe Chemical Handling training to ensure that your employees understand the information in the MSDS’s and utilize the proper personal protection equipment (PPE).
Since we cannot always be present at your site, we train your operators and supervisors in Effective Troubleshooting.
Step 5: Service
A representative of NewLeaf Chemical Solutions will make periodic service calls to monitor your processes and provide written reports. We want to ensure that you are getting maximum performance from our products while meeting all of your manufacturing goals.
We understand that emergency situations do arise and we commit to providing 24-hour emergency service calls to ensure that your line keeps running.
Numerous laboratory services are available to assist you in maintaining your line as well as troubleshooting when problems exist.
Step 6: Continuous Improvement
Since your company’s products and goals will change over time, we are committed to work with you to continually look for ways to make your plant more productive and profitable, to increase worker safety, and to find ways to minimize your impact on our environment by conserving resources, energy and health.
Our suppliers have R&D personnel to custom-blend products as needed to meet your specific needs. They are constantly developing new formulas to keep up with today’s ever-changing environmental regulations and directives without sacrificing performance. You need to concentrate your time on more important issues and you can count on us to be a committed business partner.
