About Spartan Chemical
About Spartan Chemical
Spartan Chemical Company was founded in May 1956 by E.T. Swigart Jr., Nord L. Simpson, and C.D. Werner, three entrepreneurs who set out to build a chemical company around integrity, quality, and real support for maintenance professionals. The company started in a 1,500 square foot building on Summit Street and launched its first product, HD-10 All Purpose Cleaner, which remains part of the lineup today.
Over the decades Spartan expanded into a full range of industrial and institutional cleaning chemistry, including disinfectants, wipes, skin care, food processing sanitation, laundry care, warewash, and floor care products. In the early 1990s the company introduced a patented biotechnology-based chemical line, and in 2002 it led the National Green Cleaning movement with its Green Solutions product line, followed by the Clothesline Fresh laundry line in 2009.
