About Us

Quality Products Since 1913

Verax Chemical Company is a chemical compounder (we’re baking the cookies, not milling the flour) outside Seattle, WA.

Verax has been manufacturing quality maintenance chemicals since 1913. In Latin, verax describes someone who speaks the truth.  We take that to heart, bringing honesty and integrity to all aspects of our business. We’re a family owned and operated company and we treat our customers as if they were part of our family.

Made in the USA

Our products are manufactured at our plant in Snohomish, WA. Our solar powered facility has over 32,000 sq ft of manufacturing and warehouse space.

We source domestically whenever possible to maintain lead times, quality, and support local supply chains. This has paid dividends in recent years with fluctuations in international freight prices, longshoreman strikes, unpredictable lead times, etc.

Capabilities

Verax utiilizes batch tanks up to 1,100 gallons to match the volume and demands of our customers.

We can accomodate single location dealers looking for a few cases or national chains looking for truckload volumes. Our wipes lines can output more than a truckload of product in a single shift.

Private label (aka white labelling) for distributors and OEMs makes up a significant portion of our business. We take great pride in our private label offerings and will be happy to help you grow your brand.

Verax does not operate as a toll blender, but can accomodate medium sized projects. We are also happy to tweak formulas to meet the brand, cost, and specific applications of our customers.

What We're All About

Longterm  Thinking

We're in the business of helping our customers solve dirty problem. We were doing it 100 years ago and we intend to be at it for the next 100 years.

Private Label

We believe a private label has to be just as good if not better than any major brand on the market.

It's not just another product in the line, it embodies the values and quality of your brand.

Bring Your A Game

From product formulation to how the last box is sealed - we understand that quality happens everywhere.

Each unit could be the first impression someone has of your brand. We aim to make it count.
