About Guy Chemical

Guy Berkebile, Founder of Guy Chemical

While traveling internationally during the early '90s, Guy Berkebile received numerous customer requests to supply red and blue silicone gasket makers used in automotive applications. After studying squeeze tube production methods, Guy Chemical was founded in the Somerset County's P.R.I.D.E. Manufacturer's Incubator in October 1995. After just two years, Guy Chemical outgrew its 3,000 square foot space in the facility. The company moved to Berlin, PA, where it leased space for seven years. Guy Chemical then returned to its original location by purchasing the manufacturer's incubator property in October 2004.
