Alconox Inc. – The Story

View Our Product Innovations Through the Decades

In 1946 Louis Zisman and William Lebowitz combined their respective talents by forming Alconox Inc. to manufacture and distribute Alconox® detergent.  Mr. Zisman had discovered that a wetting agent he developed excelled at cleaning glassware without leaving a residue.  Mr. Lebowitz owned Standard Scientific Supply Corporation which was a distributor of products focused on the laboratory market.

Since that time, Alconox Inc. has been the recognized leader in laboratory detergents, used extensively in the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, healthcare, electronics, and the cosmetics industries as well as solar, food, nuclear and optics industries.   Our products can now be found in over 50 countries world-wide.

Alconox Inc. has remained in the control of the founding families for over 75 years, and the third generation of those founders operate the business today.
