How It All Began

A Family-Owned Chemical Manufacturer and Formulator

As a family-owned epoxy resin and specialty chemical manufacturer and formulator, Innovative Resin Systems was founded by chemist Pinakin “Pina” Patel with a simple belief: every engineering challenge deserves the right formulation.

Today, that same commitment to technical excellence, innovation, and partnership continues to guide every solution we formulate.

Two Generations. One Founding Principle.

Built by a Chemist. Carried Forward by Family.

Since 1997, Innovative Resin Systems has remained a family-owned company driven by the same purpose: partnering with manufacturers to develop custom formulations engineered for demanding applications.
