History

 

Prior to 1987, Sun Chemical was a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In 1987, DIC purchased the company's graphic arts division and the name "Sun Chemical Corporation." The remainder of the "old" Sun Chemical today operates as SEQUA Corporation. SEQUA is still a publicly traded company on the NYSE. If you hold stock in the name of Sun Chemical Corporation, you, in fact, hold stock in SEQUA.

Business

The Company is incorporated in Delaware for tax purposes.

 

Headquarters are located at above address.

 

Sun Chemical was purchased in 1987 by Dainippon Ink and Chemicals (DIC), itself a maker of inks and coatings.

In addition to inks and coatings for paper, packaging, metal, and other products, Sun Chemical manufactures printing plates for corrugated packaging. Its inks and coatings 

products are sold under the Sun Chemical, Kohl & Madden, US Ink, and Coates brands.

The company, the world's largest inks maker, operates about 300 manufacturing, sales, and service locations in Europe and the Americas.

 

Sun Chemical Corporation has formed Sun Chemical Security, a new global business unit that will provide a wide range of products used to print packages, documents and currency that incorporate security measures. The unit also will market forensic security systems to ensure authenticity of the products themselves. 

 

As commerce transcends national borders and electronic boundaries, businesses are becoming increasingly concerned about the security of their products and brands, while also protecting their credit customers. Governments, too, are anxious about lost taxes and tariffs due to smuggling and counterfeit products, as well as more sophisticated counterfeiting of currencies, passports, bonds and other financial instruments.

 

Sun Chemical Security is located:                      85 Westbrook Road
Centerbrook, CT 06409
