Our story began in 1919

The world has changed in almost every way since then and so has the way we do business. What has never changed however is our customer focus and creating solutions based on customer needs using expert chemistry and research and development.

From a single location to a global presence

Starting from a single location in Texas by Milton P. Levy Sr, with a sole focus on disinfection, the intervening century has seen NCH expand its product line and extend operations to more than 50 countries internationally. And all of those changes have been overseen by the Levy family, ensuring that the singular vision to provide the best for our customers has remained core to every change our business has made, and to every decision we will make in the future.
