11_NORCHEM_BLOG_Kevin-Anniversary-cover.pngToday, we pause to remember Kevin Minissian, Norchem’s founder, who passed suddenly on November 23, 2021.

Kevin dedicated more than four decades to pushing the boundaries of chemistry innovation and advanced water systems for the textile services industry. His commitment to excellence and his deep care for customers earned him lasting respect—and countless friendships—throughout the industry.

Kevin built Norchem on values that continue to guide us: innovation, integrity, and a genuine passion for helping others succeed. His influence can be seen in every system we engineer and every relationship we maintain.

To continue the work he cared so deeply about, the Kevin Minissian Memorial Fund at Caltech supports students researching water treatment and recovery technologies—advancing the type of solutions Kevin championed throughout his life.

As we reflect on this anniversary, we honor Kevin’s vision and the legacy he left behind. His spirit continues to inspire us as we move forward, committed to the progress and purpose he believed in so strongly.
