About GOJO Industries
GOJO Industries is one of America's most enduring names in hand hygiene and skin care. Founded in 1946 in Akron, Ohio, the company got its start when Goldie and Jerry Lippman set out to solve a very real problem: rubber factory workers were using harsh chemicals like kerosene and benzene to clean their hands at the end of each shift. Working with a Kent State University chemist, the Lippmans developed the first-ever one-step, rinse-off GOJO hand cleaner — a safer, more effective solution that quickly caught on across industrial workplaces.
What began in a basement has grown into a global operation with approximately 2,500 employees and a product portfolio that spans heavy-duty hand cleaners, hand soaps, surface disinfectants, soap dispensers, and hand wipes. GOJO remains a privately held, family-owned business — a rarity at its scale — and continues to be guided by the same hands-on ethos its founders established decades ago.
A Legacy of Innovation
GOJO has never been content to simply manufacture cleaning products; the company has repeatedly changed how hygiene products are delivered. In 1952, Jerry Lippman patented the first portion-control dispenser, a breakthrough that helped businesses manage product usage and reduce waste. Decades later, in 1988, GOJO invented PURELL Hand Sanitizer — creating an entirely new product category that is now a fixture in hospitals, schools, restaurants, and garages worldwide.
That same spirit of innovation carries through to the brand's current lineup. GOJO hand cleaners are formulated with a wide range of soils in mind — from everyday grime to heavy grease, oil, and even heavy metals. Many formulas incorporate natural citrus degreasers and pumice scrubbers that cut through tough contamination without stripping or damaging skin, making them ideal for auto technicians, machinists, and anyone who works with their hands.
Why Professionals Choose GOJO
Across garages, factories, job sites, and commercial facilities, GOJO products have earned a reputation for reliability. Their dispensing systems — from wall-mount high-capacity units to portable bottles — are engineered to deliver consistent, measured doses that minimize waste and maximize value. For workers who need a quick clean-up on the go, GOJO and PURELL hand wipes provide portable hygiene without requiring a sink or running water.
Whether you're outfitting a professional shop, stocking a break room, or equipping a service fleet, GOJO offers a complete ecosystem of hand hygiene solutions backed by more than 75 years of research, formulation expertise, and real-world application.
