Estech Specialty Chemicals

East of the Hudson, a cluster of spires and loading arms defines the skyline of this stretch of Allings Xing. Estech Specialty Chemicals sits here, its operations tucked behind gates rather than storefronts; chemical plants don’t usually announce themselves, but the white railings and numbered silos don’t leave much to guess.

Allings Xing is mostly elevated expressway and subterranean utilities, so the place can be hard to spot until you’re practically on top of it. When you are, the street address is straightforward: Allings Xing, New York, NY 10013.

If you need to speak with operations, call the number: (212) 966-2318. When you’re ready to head over, pull up the map and the route appears: directions will take you around the curve to the gate itself.
