Customers or suppliers visiting Chemac, Inc. in New Bern, NC, are in for a treat if they take the time to experience the area. Nestled in the historically rich town of New Bern, settled by Swiss and Palatine immigrants in 1710, the spirit of innovation and community abounds. As the second colonial town founded in North Carolina and the state’s capital from 1770 to 1792, New Bern’s history and culture flourished in Eastern North Carolina, aptly earning the nickname ‘The Athens of the South’ for its scenic landscapes and architectural beauty. From colonial times to modern times, the resilient city survived major storms, war, revolution, uprisings, and a great fire that almost burned the small town completely to the ground. Despite past hardships, the city is a beacon of modern opportunity and offers visitors/locals all the flavors of the hospitable South in a region poised for an even greater future.
