Multimillion-Dollar Investment Advances Growth, Sustainability, and Operational Integration
SCHOOLCRAFT, MI – July 3, 2025 – SOPREMA is proud to announce the rebranding and expansion of its facility in Schoolcraft, Michigan, formerly known as Chem Link. Now operating as SOPREMA Schoolcraft, the site reflects the facility’s integration into the broader SOPREMA operational footprint and signals a continued investment in innovation and infrastructure.
Acquired in 2016, the Schoolcraft facility has been known for manufacturing high-performance sealants and adhesives under the Chem Link by SOPREMA brand. While the facility name and branding have evolved, Chem Link by SOPREMA products will continue to be produced onsite, alongside a growing range of SOPREMA solutions.
This rebranding coincides with a major facility expansion that includes an enlarged warehouse, a new quality assurance laboratory, and the addition of a rooftop solar array. These enhancements position SOPREMA Schoolcraft for greater production capacity, improved quality control, and increased operational sustainability.
“This is a big moment for our team in Schoolcraft,” said Tim Kersey. “They’ve worked hard to get to this point, and the rebranding is really a reflection of how far they’ve come and where we’re going. We’re excited about what’s ahead.”
Facility Expansion Highlights:

“As the demand for sealants and adhesives continues to grow, this expansion gives us the tools to scale smarter and innovate faster,” said Darci Kunard, National Sales Manager for Sealants and Adhesives. “It’s a strong reflection of our long-term vision and of our commitment to meeting the growing needs of the market.”
To celebrate the milestone, SOPREMA hosted a ribbon-cutting and employee celebration on June 25. Photos from the event and expanded facility will be shared alongside this release.
