At Chemishield, we’re on a mission to make labs safer and more sustainable, by giving scientists and EHS professionals the tools they need to manage chemicals responsibly, reduce waste, and ensure compliance with ease
Chemishield was born from a lab accident that could have been avoided. Over a decade ago, our founder Kevin Walsh witnessed a chemical waste explosion caused by improper segregation. That moment sparked a mission: to make labs safer through smarter chemical management.
Chemishield Founder & CEO, Kevin Walsh witnesses a chemical accident in a lab. A number of incompatible chemicals were mixed into the same waste bottle.
The issue of improper segregation of hazardous waste was validated. A solution was needed.
After nearly two years of development, Chemishield was successfully launched into Pfizer Grange Castle in Dublin, Ireland on the eve of the global pandemic.
Post pandemic Chemishield is now deployed globally across a number of world class pharma, biotech & FMCG facilities. Malcolm Bell, CEO of Envetec joins the board of directors. in May 2025.
