About Us
History
What started as a chemical supplier to the textile industry, JATKO has grown to service a large portfolio of companies in multiple industries including paper, textiles and non-wovens. Our President, Tim Price, has made customer service a focus from the beginning– and we remain flexible to meet our customer’s changing needs.
One of the most highly regarded polymer chemists in the country, Mr. Price grew the business by filling a need for knowledgeable chemists and application experts who could provide service to targeted industries. JATKO continues to hire the most experienced chemists and service representatives in the polymer industry, allowing our products to be developed and customized for their exact applications. With more than 300 years of combined experience, JATKO’s team of chemists can create unlimited formulations of all your emulsion polymer applications.

In the last 20 years, we’ve created multiple products for commercial, industrial and manufacturing purposes. What’s more, we have the experience and knowledge to evaluate a customer’s need and create a specially-tailored solution. If you have a unique problem, JATKO can develop a solution.
