F i n a l l y a s i t e t h a t g o t i t right . . IWe're not just another .com company. Chemfinet was formed by chemists at Midwest Research Institute, an independent, not-for-profit contract R&D organization. We recognized a need for a more interactive way to buy and sell the custom fine chemicals that can't be found in catalogs or commodity exchanges. Chemfinet links qualified chemical manufacturers with chemists and researchers ready to buy — while facilitating the necessary interaction between them.
