Glissen Chemical

Since 1930, the food service industry has been turning to Glissen Chemical Company for top quality products. Glissen Chemical was founded in Brooklyn, NY by Eugene Lehr along with his wife Annette in 1930. Eugene’s lessons on the importance of honesty, integrity, and quality have served his son, Joe Lehr, during his own sixty-four years with Glissen and helped build the company into a leading detergent manufacturer with distribution in 22 states. Despite growing up in the family business, Joe Lehr at first had other career plans, but when his father became ill, Joe, who was 19 years old at the time, agreed to help the family out for a year until he recovered. Glissen now boasts a line of more than 20 meticulously researched and designed products—the key attributes of the company remain the same, the commitment to detail that has built the Glissen name into one synonymous with top-notch service and uncompromising quality.
