Swisher Hygiene Inc., a provider of essential hygiene and sanitation products and services, today announced that it has acquired the majority of assets of Daley International, Ltd. ("Daley"), one of the largest independent chemical manufacturers in the U.S. The acquisition will allow Swisher Hygiene to significantly increase its internal product manufacturing capability, while also enabling the company to provide a broader array of products for additional vertical markets.
Daley is headquartered and has its main 207,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Chicago, with satellite plants located in Denver; Plant City, FL and Johnstown, NY. The company has over 30 years of experience developing, manufacturing, selling and distributing chemicals into institutional markets on a national basis. Daley manufactures an extensive line of warewash, laundry, housekeeping, food processing, institutional cleaning and building maintenance chemicals, and is also one of the largest producers of floor finishes, waxes, and ancillary floor care products. Concurrent with the acquisition, Tim Daley will become VP-manufacturing, and his brothers Patrick, Michael and Sean will continue in key management roles.
By adding the four manufacturing facilities, Swisher Hygiene will significantly increase the percentage of chemical products that it manufactures internally and secure capacity to support its future growth. Despite the additional capacity, Swisher Hygiene intends to also maintain supply partnerships with a core group of third-party manufacturers. The acquisition will also enable Swisher Hygiene to add Daley's attractive customer base and expand its capabilities within the food processing, floor care, supermarket sanitation, industrial and health care markets by allowing for the manufacturing of specialty products used by these industries.
