Rochester Midland Corporation

Rochester Midland Corporation (RMC) was established in 1888 and has become a leading supplier of industrial cleaners, restroom care programs, food safety chemicals, and water treatment programs in North America. Renowned for pioneering Green Housekeeping, RMC utilizes third-party certified, biobased cleaning products and emphasizes the importance of education and training for workers and building occupants. With manufacturing locations in New York, Illinois, and Wales, and a network of distributors in over 50 countries, RMC has a global reach. The company is committed to developing sustainable solutions that promote health, productivity, and respect for the environment.

The evolution of Rochester Midland Corporation began with the purchase of the Rochester, New York Agency of the Aromatic Disinfecting Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leading to the formation of the Rochester Germicide Company in 1888. Through the years, the company broadened its product range, opened new offices, and expanded through key acquisitions, including the significant purchase of Midland Laboratories in 1972. In 1980, the company adopted its current name, Rochester Midland Corporation, reflecting its diversified operations beyond germicide production. Today, RMC’s operations span the globe, leveraging advanced technology and innovative chemistry across its diverse chemical programs. As a family-owned business, RMC celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2018, marking over a century of commitment to cleanliness, productivity, and environmental sustainability.
