Florida Chemical Company History
In 1942, W. H. Schulz and his son Bert saw an opportunity to use waste created from citrus processing to create new products so they started Florida Molasses, Inc., the predecessor of Florida Chemical Company. The company first started as an alcohol distillery that worked to fill the nation’s growing need for ethyl alcohol during World War II.
After the war, the company name was changed to Florida Chemical Company and the focus shifted from alcohol to d-Limonene, a major component of the oil extracted from citrus rind.
Always interested in the environment and eliminating waste from citrus processing, the Schulz family originally set out to market these citrus oils for use in the flavor and fragrance industry. When the concern over the use of toxic chemicals began, Florida Chemical was perfectly poised to offer safe, clean alternative cleaning products for many industries and applications.
From the small plant that started as Florida Molasses to the over 70-year-old Florida Chemical Company, the company has grown to offer a myriad of products that help companies around the world to develop product solutions from the finest quality citrus components. The company boasts the highest quality customer service, technical support, and logistics management in the industry.
