Founded in 1964, United Laboratories set out to create better, safer chemical technologies. United is the nation's leading Responsible Innovation™ chemical company… it's in our nature. Our Corporate office and main manufacturing center are proudly located in St. Charles, IL.

In the seventies, United developed Solar Solvents. These ground-breaking formulas are made from renewable resources and are far less hazardous to both users and the environment. When other companies started marketing so-called “Green” products without defining what that meant, we set the standards for our products to qualify as Earth Smart®. We've continually educated people on the “Green” standards since 1992.

Our Company’s culture for product development revolves around the concepts of Earth Smart® and Responsible Innovation™. Our mission is to provide the industry’s best “Green” products that enhance safety while delivering the performance our customers have come to expect.

We manufacture and distribute nearly 400 Specialty Products. Over 35% of these products qualify as Earth Smart® Certified or Bio-based, and we lead the industry with continuous innovations and patented technologies.

As a B2B company, we love solving problems for our customers by improving their facilities, reducing maintenance costs, providing a safer environment, and extending the life of their equipment.

Our customers include schools, hospitals, nursing homes, universities, city and municipal governments, state and federal agencies, the U.S. Military, and commercial and industrial accounts.

We are proud to be an Employee-Owned company since 1996. Our Employee-Stock Ownership Program cultivates a unique work environment as we all work together to drive the success of the Company.

It’s the people that make United so unique! We are a family of over 240 people working all over the United States. The average tenure of our employee-owners is 13 years. Many folks have celebrated their 20, 30, and even 50-year anniversaries. That says much about our work culture, benefits, work-life balance, and leadership.

We continue to grow through the success of our products and services, our customers’ success, and the success of our employee-owners.
