Chemlock was founded in 2010 by a father and son duo, Arun and Kris Mehan.

Arun had a wealth of knowledge and chemistry wizardry, starting with an MIT education and rounded out by 40+ years of global experience.   

Kris was fresh out of school, but with a chip on his shoulder to outhustle over-resourced dinosaurs.

Together, in equal parts research and luck, they found that the animal health and nutrition space could benefit from proven chemistry, science, and production methods already well established in other industries.

It started with Cobalt. Soon, customers began to ask them for more. 

Chemlock continued to solve new problems the way it solved everything - by figuring it out through chemistry, science, and creative problem-solving. To this day, Chemlock’s core competency remains the same – using direct chemistry, often with principles originating from other industries, to make better, more consistent, and more affordable feed ingredients.

Chemlock’s research, expertise and knack for connecting unobvious dots has led to solutions in animal nutrition that are more efficient, cost-effective and reliable in today’s modern feed formulations than traditional processes like fermentation.

As their learning about animal health and nutrition evolved, and their understanding of customer and animal needs deepened, Chemlock began developing its own innovations to solve pressing nutritional, health and ingredient challenges.

Chemlock’s commitment to quality and superior ingredients is working. From 2017 to 2020, they averaged 70% annualized growth. In 2021, they raised outside capital to put together a lean team of industry all stars and ultra-efficient R&D. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, Chemlock launched state-of-the-art products like Nutricow® CalBal®, Nutrivit® Puri-D™ and Nutrilock® Seleno.

Even as the team and the company continue to grow, Chemlock Nutrition is still rooted in the desire to be the world’s greatest company, not the world’s largest.

Chemlock’s commitment to the industry is simple: to be the most useful company, by only providing products that are consistently effective, and only providing information and services that benefit, first and foremost, their customers. Chemlock’s enthusiasm every morning is just as strong as it was in the beginning and remains channeled towards a relentless pursuit to solve health and nutrition problems with essential chemistry and extraordinary people.
