Fresh Products, LLC was founded in 1971 in Toledo, Ohio USA by three successful businessman, Don Anderson, Jim Findlay, and Jim Lower.   As Jim Lower and Jim Findlay had previously founded Canberra (cleaning products) and Impact Products (various plastic items like bowl mops), Fresh was started with a mission to manufacture air fresheners to help round out the product offerings.   Fresh initially manufactured 4 oz. wall block deodorants and over the years the product line expanded as customers’ needs changed.

In the early 1980's, Fresh continued to grow and needed more time and expertise than the partners could provide.  They recruited Bob Brown, already a very successful entrepreneur, to join the team.  Bob bought out Jim Lower and Jim Findlay and was a partner with Don Anderson.  Using the experience Bob had in the operational area of manufacturing, they were able to reduce the lead-time from 6 weeks to 2 weeks.  While doubling the number of products offered!  Fresh Products, LLC began to utilize the latest in packaging technology and undertook 3 physical plant additions that increased the size of the plant more than 400%.  This new capacity allowed Fresh to respond to customer requests, more quickly and meet further customer demands .  They also expanded their sales to blanket the country.
 
Over the years, Fresh has continued to innovate and solve our customers toughest needs whether they are next door, or halfway around the world as we now work with distributors and manufacturers in over 30 countries. Fresh’s mission statement is to manufacture and distribute superior cleaning and deodorizing products. This mission statement has led us to add:
