Our Company
Hampford Research, Inc. (HRI) has consistently delivered innovative solutions to its customers from startups to Fortune 500 clients for over forty years, building a reputation for excellence within the specialty chemical industry. Established in 1982 by chemist Jack Hampford, HRI benefited from his deep expertise in the development and manufacture of polyfunctional acrylic monomers, enabling the company to expand into new applications and markets. This strong foundation in both innovative chemistry and building strong partnerships has been integral to HRI’s sustained growth and industry leadership.
HRI’s initial focus on the electronics and dental materials sectors has broadened to include the personal care, lithographic printing, imaging, 3D printing, and coatings markets. This strategic development has enabled HRI to diversify effectively while continuing to serve its foundational clientele.
