Jeremy Luth, founder and chemist of Nomad Chemical, built the company around that principle after spending his career across multiple sectors of the chemical industry. His background spans analytical testing, quality control, formulation, research and development, and executive leadership. That range of experience shaped both his technical perspective and his view of what many customers truly need: a partner capable of developing chemistry around the problem, rather than forcing the problem to fit an off-the-shelf product.
Jeremy studied biochemistry at Tulane University, where he developed the scientific foundation that would guide the rest of his career. He began his professional path at Central Analytical Labs, later Eurofins, performing industrial water analysis and nutraceutical quality control. That work established an early focus on data, discipline, and the importance of understanding system conditions before making technical decisions.
He later moved to Waterbury Companies, where he worked in product development for specialty agricultural products. In that role, he expanded from analytical work into formulation and applied product design, gaining firsthand experience in how chemistry must perform not only in the lab, but also in real-world use.
Jeremy then joined Union Carbide, and later Dow Chemical, where he worked in research and quality control involving specialty solvents and glycols. That experience further deepened his understanding of raw material performance, process control, and the relationship between chemistry, manufacturing, and end-use reliability. It also reinforced a commitment to technical rigor that remains central to Nomad’s approach today.
Later, at Lamberti, Jeremy worked in research and development related to the organic synthesis of drilling and completion fluids. That phase of his career brought him deeper into demanding industrial environments where chemistry has to function under pressure, across changing conditions, and in applications where performance matters immediately and materially.
In time, Jeremy also held executive roles at OSP Microcheck and Neptune Chemical. Those positions broadened his commercial and operational perspective, giving him a clearer view of how technical performance, customer trust, and field execution must align. Across those roles, one pattern became increasingly clear: many companies were facing persistent system problems without access to chemistry specifically engineered for the task.
Nomad Chemical was created to address that gap.
Today, Nomad focuses on application-specific chemistry for asset integrity, flow assurance, and remediation and maintenance challenges across multiple industries. Rather than chasing broad commodity markets, the company is built around targeted technical solutions for problems such as deposits, fouling, contamination, corrosion, and performance loss.
The company’s model is rooted in a simple but important distinction: many industrial systems do not fail because chemistry is absent. They fail because the wrong chemistry is being used, or because no one has taken the time to develop the right chemistry for the actual operating environment.
That is the space Nomad was built to serve.
Under Jeremy’s leadership, Nomad develops practical, performance-driven chemical solutions designed to restore system performance, remove persistent deposits, protect surfaces, and help customers maintain long-term operational integrity. The company’s focus is narrow by design: solve real problems with chemistry tailored to the application.
For Jeremy, Nomad is not just another chemical company. It is the result of a career spent seeing where standard solutions fall short, and building a company specifically intended to do better.
