Eastar was founded by Charles Chu over 20 years ago. Originally, Eastar was named China Chemical Trading Corporation. It did exactly that - traded chemicals from China to USA. Unlike many other trading companies, our people consisted of chemists and engineers focusing primarily on the technology and quality assurance areas. We assisted China plants to develop new chemistries and more efficient processes to custom produce chemicals that were not available in China. We worked with US and European clients to transfer technology to China and developed operating procedures to ensure that confidentiality and IP rights are protected throughout the whole supply chain. We developed innovative approaches to supply hard to find chemicals. Most importantly, we focused on Quality Control and Assurance to establish reliable quality systems.

Through years of hard work, our more involved approaches paid off. We built a strong track record in successfully completing a wide range of projects. In 1994, Charles's son, Tony Chu, joined the company. Tony transformed the company from primarily a trading company to a custom / toll manufacturer and changed the company name to Eastar Chemical Corporation. Eastar invested and operates laboratories and production facilities in China. To provide a complete and wide range of products, Eastar also established partnerships and exclusive subcontract relationships with other plants to manufacture our products under Eastar's project management and quality system.

Innovation in technology and quality assurance has been Eastar's driving force for over two decades. By combining unique chemistries, responsive and quality driven professionals, and low cost production in China, we will continue to deliver value to our customers.
