In 1924, Omaha Compound Company was founded by David Manvitz. In the beginning, Mr. Manvitz would sell the product during the day and return to the plant to manufacture the sweeping compound. Soon cleaners and waxes were also manufactured and sold. Omaha Compound Company purchased other companies in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, which greatly expanded the company and added numerous janitorial sanitary supply products to the line. At one time, Omaha Compound Company also manufactured brushes and mops, but it was decided that it was more cost effective to distribute these products.
