SolvChem, Inc. was founded by Gabriel Baizan in 1981 to provide outstanding personalized service as an independent distributor of solvents and organic chemicals. In 1982, the company became a member of the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD), affirming its commitment to responsible chemical distribution practices. Also in the 1980s, SolvChem became an authorized distributor for Shell Chemical. SolvChem has since grown in size and scope, based on a commitment to provide customers great value and service.

Since its founding, the company has expanded from its original location in Houston to serve the Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi markets domestically from its four locations. SolvChem became a multi-branch facility in 1990, with the opening of its Dallas, TX facility. The Shreveport, LA facility followed in 1996. The company has also grown to serve an international network of customers, shipping products from the Port of Houston to Central and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle and Far East.

In the 1990s, SolvChem became an authorized distributor for Union Carbide, now Dow Chemical - a relationship that continues to this day. 

Now in its second generation of management, SolvChem remains committed to its mission of exceeding the expectations of its customers through a customer-focused business model. In 2006, the company became a full-line distributor by adding inorganic chemicals to its product offering.

SolvChem's achievements have been recognized on a national level during the years since its founding. The company has been featured annually in Purchasing Magazine’s Top 100 Chemical Distributors list, in addition to the Hispanic Business 500®. 
Today, SolvChem is the largest, full-line independent chemical distributor in the Texas/Louisiana region. Our vision for the future includes continued expansion of our product line and enhancing our current contract packaging, export and custom blending services.
