The company started in 1983 to make specialty chemical products for the Beef Slaughter industry. The first product was a chemical to reduce water loss and improve yield on slaughter cattle.

This soon expanded into a complete range of "production" orientated chemicals for tripe and beef feet washing, trolley maintenance and carcass treatments sold throughout the United States.

In 2004 a major expansion was completed and a complete line of sanitation related cleaning chemicals and sanitizers was added to the product line. The customer base increased to all of the US and Canada markets

Current manufacturing capacity is over 400,000 lbs per day in batch sizes from 500 to 4,000 gallons.
