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.
