P.A.T. Products is a second-generation specialty chemical distributor and manufacturer, run from Maine and New Hampshire.
P.A.T. Products was founded in Maine in 1974. For over 50 years, we have built a business that handles real complexity: custom volumes, regulated imports, technical questions that need direct answers, and documentation that has to be right. We also manufacture select product lines in the United States, with our own lab, production facility, and quality control team.
We work with producers from around the world and bring their products to North American manufacturers with the technical depth and hands-on service both sides depend on.
Today, P.A.T. Products is in its second generation of family ownership. We are a small team, and our people can make decisions without going up a chain.
When you reach out, you reach a person who knows the product and can move quickly.
1974
Founded in Maine
P.A.T. Products was founded by a husband-and-wife team with a focus on commodity trading. From the start, the company served industries where product knowledge and supplier relationships mattered, including pulp and paper and animal feed.
1980s
European partnerships begin
PAT established its first long-term distribution partnerships with European producers of polyurethane systems and related products. The portfolio expanded to include natural products like shellac and damar resin.
1990s
Elastomers and in-house color
New partnerships added thermoplastics and additives for polyurethane systems, with a growing focus on footwear. The decade also marked the start of in-house liquid color dispersion production at the Hermon, Maine facility.
2000s
Expanding into new industries
Growth continued into inks, coatings, paints, water treatment, and metalworking, each built on a direct relationship with the maker.
2010s
Manufacturing and food ingredients
Investment in the Hermon facility expanded liquid color capacity. The food and beverage division grew, with PAT adding US-made natural ingredients, including spray-dried oil powders, under the PAT Ingredients brand.
Today
Second generation, same values
P.A.T. Products operates from Maine and New Hampshire, with warehouse locations in Texas, New Jersey, and Illinois. The company remains family-owned and family-run, with partnerships that in some cases go back more than three decades.
Our team includes specialists in thermoplastic elastomers, liquid color, water treatment chemistry, and food ingredients. We ship product and help you solve formulation and sourcing problems.
Our supplier relationships go back decades. That history gives us deep product knowledge, direct access to technical teams, and the ability to get real answers on complex sourcing and formulation questions.
Antidumping tariffs, FDA compliance, EPA requirements, exact color matches. We handle the documentation, the qualifications, and the follow-through.
We manufacture liquid color dispersions and specialty natural ingredients in-house. Our own production line, lab, and QC team mean direct control over quality, custom specifications, and consistent lead times.
Locations in Maine, New Hampshire, Texas, New Jersey, and Illinois let us reach most of North America quickly. And we still pick up the phone when you call.
PAT Ingredients is certified organic by Oregon Tilth. Our products meet RoHS, REACH, FDA, and food contact requirements where applicable. We maintain the documentation so you don't have to.
