The foundation of Miles Chemical Solutions began in 1977, when Samuel Miles joined his father’s company, Chemfil Corporation. Those early years shaped his commitment to safer, more effective solutions for the finishing and coating industries. Even after Chemfil was acquired by PPG Industries in 1986, the experience Miles gained continued to guide his work.

In 1997, he developed the formulations that would evolve into the Miles Chemical Solutions product line—high‑performance, non‑methylene‑chloride stripping technologies designed to meet the growing demand for safer, more efficient coating removal. Recognizing the need for accessible, online purchasing long before it became standard, Miles launched MilesChemicalSolutions.com in 1999, giving industrial buyers a direct way to source reliable stripping chemicals for hooks, racks, fixtures, and in‑house rework.

By 2020, all product development and manufacturing were fully consolidated under the Miles Chemical Solutions name, ensuring complete control over quality, consistency, and innovation.

Today, Miles Chemical Solutions stands on more than four decades of industry knowledge, delivering trusted products built on experience, integrity, and continuous improvement—serving the Finishing Industry, Custom Coaters, Fabricators, OEMs, and consumers across North America, Canada and Mexico.
