Proxima

Specialty chemical manufacturing · B2B

Your Name. Our Chemistry.

You bring the brand and the market. We build the formulation behind it: developed to solve your technical problem, manufactured to spec, and delivered finished under your name. Chemistry your competitors can't design; ready for the market you serve.

A Manufacturing Partner

Proxima is a development and manufacturing partner for specialized chemical formulations. We control the formula, run production, test every lot, and ship with export-ready documentation.

Global supply & documentation discipline

International chemical supply takes more than manufacturing.

A chemical shipment moves through freight forwarders, customs brokers, and authorities at both ends of the route. Each of them checks the documentation, and one mismatch, between two documents or between a document and the goods, is enough to hold a shipment. We prepare the full set to avoid issues: SDS, Dangerous Goods Declarations, labels, invoice, certificate of origin, and customs classification all describe one product, consistent with what ships.

What Proxima is built on

Development.

We develop a custom formulation for every client requirement, built specifically for that problem and no other. Nothing is a stock product with a new label.

Fluorescent diagnostic · Leak detection

Move the light. Find the leak.

Our fluorescent formulations make invisible leaks glow under UV light. Sweep the surface below.

Capabilities

What we do.

Proxima develops formulations, manufactures them, and prepares them for the markets they are sold into.

01

Custom formulation and co-development

We can improve clients' existing formulas or develop new formulations based upon problems our clients observe in the markets they serve. For example, based on a client request we designed a product that seals and carries diagnostic dye in a single charge, with the dye detectable and the sealant intact.

02

Private label and contract manufacturing

The client's product built to their formula and delivered under their brand.

03

Packaging

We package to meet client needs, including drums, pails, bottles, syringes, pouches, cans and private-label packaging. Formats vary by formulation, market, regulatory requirements, and customer specification.

04

Raw materials

We source branded materials from established producers, selected on quality rather than proximity. Several are not sold on the open market. One driveline fluid we formulate with is released to two approved buyers in the Americas, and Proxima is one of them. Substitution requires engineering approval, and every lot is tested against its specification before release.

05

Export documentation

We prepare the full set to avoid issues: SDS, Dangerous Goods Declarations, labels, invoice, certificate of origin, and customs classification all describe one product, consistent with what ships.

06

Cost

We import premium raw materials and manufacture in Mexico. Production lots run from under fifty finished units to full 208-liter drums, which lets clients test a market before committing to scale.

How we work

From your formula to export-ready product.

A disciplined path, and every step is documented.

  1. 01

    Formulate

    Custom formulation and co-development from your formula or technical problem.

  2. 02

    Produce

    First-grade raw materials, controlled mixing, filling and packaging under your brand.

  3. 03

    Document

    Batch traceability, QC testing and the export documentation international trade requires.

  4. 04

    Export

    Export-ready product, coordinated across borders with disciplined paperwork.

Private label & custom manufacturing

You keep the brand. We bring the manufacturing discipline.

The formulas we develop reach the market under globally recognized brands. We do not publish customer names or disclose customer-specific formulations.

We don’t compete with the brands we build for

We don’t sell under our own name, every formula we make ships under someone else's brand.

Palletized drums of finished product, labeled and ready for export

We do not publish minimum order quantities. We take on early-stage projects and work with small volumes, with the intention of building recurring, long-term relationships.

Formulation areas

These are some of the domains in which we work.

We develop and introduce new formulations with our clients. Most work begins the same way: a client brings a novel idea or market need, and we work to develop the formulation.

Fluorescent diagnostics and UV leak detection

Formulated for compatibility across refrigerant and oil types, with dosing concentrations calibrated to the system rather than to the dye.

Internal sealants

Non-polymer, non-crystallizing formulations injected into the HVAC/R system to seal micro leaks; our sealants stay in service for the life of the equipment without clogging capillaries or expansion valves.

External sealants

Applied at joints and connections, sealing without hardening or crystallizing; connections stay serviceable and can be broken and remade later.

Assembly gels

Gel-type formulations where handling, placement, and cure behavior matter as much as the chemistry.

Flush and cleaning formulations

Designed for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems and components. Tested to ASHRAE 97 standards.

Coil and evaporator cleaners

Used in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.

Oil and lubricant-related additives

Formulated across a wide range of viscosities for the lubrication demands of mechanical and electrical compressors in service applications.

Specialty chemistry and customer-specific formulations

Developed for requirements that do not fit an existing category.

Quality & documentation

Documentation is part of the work, not an afterthought.

Every lot is tested against its specification before release, a batch that does not meet it does not ship. Moisture-sensitive formulations are produced under an inert-gas blanket that controls moisture levels during production.

Documentation is provided where appropriate and varies by product, country, and shipment.

Technical foundation

Technical experience built into production.

Our chemists have developed specialty chemical products and put them into production, working alongside the OEMs and distributors that carry them. A product must ship internationally, clear customs, and hold up in service, so we built those demands into the formula from the start.

We know the markets we serve: automotive, air conditioning and refrigeration, and industrial maintenance. That knowledge is what lets us stand behind our formulas long after the first lot ships. We answer the questions that come up over the life of the product, while our clients keep the brand and the customer relationship.

Markets served · Global supply

A manufacturing platform built for export.

Across HVAC/R, automotive, and industrial markets, our clients tend to see what others miss: an unresolved technical problem or an unmet customer need. We develop for that across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America. The standard of manufacturing and documentation stays the same. The solution is adapted to each application, its regulatory setting, and its market.
