No início do século XX nos Estados Unidos, a necessidade de produtos de manutenção especializados resultou numa crescente procura pública de melhoria de saneamento e aumento de segurança. Milton P. Levy Sr. reconheceu esta oportunidade e criou a NCH, então conhecida como National Disinfectant Company.
No início, a National Disinfectant Company oferecia apenas uma meia dúzia de produtos. A gama apresentava produtos como um desinfetante de alcatrão de hulha, um insecticida e um sabonete líquido para melhorar o saneamento em hospitais, escolas e instituições públicas.
À medida que a empresa começou a crescer, os lucros foram reinvestidos em equipamento de produção, o apoio administrativo e os esforços de pesquisa e desenvolvimento foram expandidos. Ao longo do tempo, a empresa começou a produzir quase todos os produtos e expandiu-se para novas zonas.
Em 1955, a empresa tinha imenso êxito e continuava a expandir-se. Com linhas ferroviárias e rodoviárias mais rápidas e de confiança, tornou-se mais fácil abastecer e prestar serviços a clientes em grandes áreas geográficas.
A força de vendas foi crescendo e emergiu uma nova equipa de gestão de vendas, capaz de fornecer a liderança necessária para continuar a desenvolver novos territórios. Em 1956, foi fundado em St. Louis o primeiro escritório fora do Texas. Em poucos anos, foram abertos os escritórios em Nova Iorque e Los Angeles. Para acompanhar a crescente procura, foram construídas quatro novas fábricas nos Estados Unidos.
Na década de 1960, a National Disinfectant Company mudou o nome para National Chemsearch Corporation e as vendas expandiram-se à região das Caraíbas, Canadá, América Central e América do Sul e Europa. Em 1969, as ações da National Chemsearch foram cotadas na Bolsa de Valores de Nova Iorque; o símbolo atribuído foi NCH.
A geografia dos negócios da empresa estava a mudar, mas não a sua filosofia. Esta última continuava a ter por base uma organização de vendas forte, fazendo da força de vendas a ligação principal aos clientes, fornecendo-lhes produtos e serviços de manutenção superiores.
Em 1978 a empresa mudou o nome de National Chemsearch para NCH Corporation.
A década de 1990 viu a NCH entrar no mercado da Europa Central e expandir-se para o maior mercado do mundo, a China.
A história de empresa de 37 anos como uma empresa cotada em bolsa terminou em 2003, quando a família Levy adquiriu 100% das ações públicas da NCH.
Hoje, a NCH celebra 100 anos de serviço a clientes em mais de 50 países na América do Norte, América Latina, Europa, Austrália e Ásia.
Para agradecer os 100 anos de negócios, estamos a retribuir às nossas comunidades locais e a apoiar instituições de caridade através de atividades e trabalho voluntário.
