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.
