What Pariser Industries does

Pariser Industries, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer of specialty cleaning chemicals founded in 1971 by Albert Pariser and headquartered at 91 Michigan Avenue, Paterson, New Jersey. The company produces a catalog spanning laundry, dry-cleaning, wet-cleaning, fire restoration, ware washing, janitorial, disinfectant, and HVAC boiler and cooling water treatment chemistries, including EPA-registered disinfectant products (Para BC 100, Neutra-Clean Rx, Neutrex #256, STERI-CLEAN), bio-enzyme cleaners (BIO-ZYME, PARAZYME), and concentrated phosphate-free laundry powders (MEGA BRYTE). Manufacturing is conducted under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management systems at the Paterson facility, and the company is co-led by brothers Andrew and Scott Pariser, who oversee corporate administration, R&D, manufacturing, and sales respectively.

The business model is primarily a unit-pricing, sell-through-the-channel model: Pariser sells to 90 distributors across more than 40 US states, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean, while also engaging institutional and commercial customers through direct sales. Customers include on-premise and commercial laundries, dry cleaners, hospitality properties, healthcare and institutional facilities, food service operators, fire restoration companies, and HVAC water treatment end-users. The company bundles chemicals with lend-lease automated dispensing hardware, technical field consulting, the Laundry Management Systems (LMS) cost-optimization program, and the Lodging Logic hospitality training program, which together create service-led differentiation and switching costs beyond the chemical product itself. Revenue is generated through repeat consumable chemical sales to the distributor and direct customer base, with products sold in standard packaging (4×1 gallon cases, 5-gallon pails, 15- and 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes). The company has also begun layering a private label and toll manufacturing service onto the same manufacturing footprint.
