A comienzos del siglo XX existió la necesidad de crear productos de mantenimiento en Estados Unidos, como consecuencia de una creciente demanda social de mejora en las condiciones sanitarias y de seguridad. Milton P. Levy sr. supo ver esta oportunidad incipiente y fundó NCH, entonces conocida como National Disinfectant Company (“Compañía Nacional de Desinfectantes”).
En un primer momento, la National Disinfectant Company solo ofrecía algunos productos, tales como desinfectante de alquitrán de hulla, un insecticida y un jabón de manos en formato líquido para mejorar la salubridad en hospitales, colegios e instituciones públicas.
A medida que la compañía fue creciendo, se reinvirtieron los beneficios en equipos de producción, personal administrativo e I+D. Con el tiempo, la empresa empezó a producir casi todo su producto y se expandió hacia nuevos territorios.
Hacia 1955, la compañía ya era muy exitosa y siguió expandiéndose. Gracias a un servicio de ferrocarril y de transportes por carretera más fiable, se pudo llegar cómodamente a más clientes a lo largo de zonas geográficas cada vez más amplias.
El equipo de ventas creció y, con él, una nueva gestión de las mismas, capaz de aportar el liderazgo necesario para desarrollar nuevas zonas geográficas. En 1956 se inauguró la primera oficina fuera de Texas, concretamente en San Luis (Misuri). Poco tiempo después, la compañía abrió delegaciones en Nueva York y Los Ángeles. Para abastecer la creciente demanda, se pusieron en marcha cuatro plantas nuevas a lo largo de toda la geografía estadounidense.
En la década de los sesenta, la National Disinfectant Company cambió su nombre por el de National Chemsearch Corporation y se expandió al Caribe, Canadá, América Central y del Sur y Europa. En 1969 empezó a cotizar en la bolsa de Nueva York con las siglas NCH.
El modo en que NCH estaba cambiando a nivel geográfico no alteró en modo alguno su filosofía original, basada en una fuerte estructura de ventas, planificando los equipos como el primer nexo de unión con los clientes para proporcionarles los mejores productos y servicios de mantenimiento.
En 1978, la compañía cambio de nuevo su denominación, de National Chemsearch a NCH Corporation.
En 1990, NCH entró en el mercado centroeuropeo y se expandió al más grande del mundo, China.
Los 37 años de historia como compañía de capital abierto llegaron a su fin en 2003, cuando la familia Levy adquirió el 100 % de las acciones públicas de NCH.
Hoy, la empresa celebra un siglo de vida abasteciendo a sus clientes en más de 50 países en Estados Unidos y Sudamérica, Europa, Australia y Asia.
Queremos dar las gracias por estos 100 años de negocio dando apoyo a nuestras comunidades locales y apoyando a organizaciones benéficas por medio de actividades y trabajos de voluntariado.
