Apter Industries Inc

We clean with Red and Yellow. Your payoff is in green! Our family has been manufacturing spectacular cleaning products since the 1930s. With a plant located in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh, we cut our teeth scrubbing up the local steel mills. If your product didn’t perform as declared in the mills, you were physically removed from the premises. We quickly got the point. In the early 1970s the steel mills started to go away. To survive, we launched a nationwide campaign to provide simple programs for multi-unit retailers to clean their stores. We introduced product color-coding for simplicity. But foremost, just like the “mill days”, we hung our hats on making products that worked better. Our new customers took us to Europe and Canada where we developed our no-trade-secrets disclosure and environmentally friendly policies. Keep in mind, this was before the Right-to-Know Law and biodegradability concerns that appeared in the 1980s. Today, our products safely blast through grime in convenience stores, movie theatres, school districts, government locations, and steel mills. Yes, the mills are back! We know of no other company anywhere that produces products that are this safe, this environmentally responsible, and work this well. I would like to personally thank every customer from the steel mills to the convenience store industry for leading us down the path of quality. Scott Apter President
