September 30, 2019 – Effective September 1, 2019, The Shepherd Chemical Company,
headquartered in Cincinnati, OH, has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Everchem
Specialty Chemicals for BiCAT® polyurethane catalysts in the United States and Canada.

materials and improved ongoing technical support.

“At Shepherd Chemical our core purpose is to Create Value and Brighten Lives. Our exclusive North
American partnership with Everchem will do both of those things for our customers in the
Polyurethane market.” says Kelly Wray, Shepherd Chemical Global Sales Manager. “Everchem
