Gasco Industrial

What Gasco Industrial does

Gascó Industrial (Gascó Industrial Corp) is a privately held, family-owned Puerto Rican manufacturer and distributor of industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals and equipment. Founded circa 2004 and headquartered in Puerto Rico, the company operates three branded product divisions: Gascó Clean (its core institutional and industrial cleaning line, including EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants and a broad multipurpose/kitchen/warewash/laundry catalog), Gascó Eco-Clean (a biodegradable counterpart line whose formulations are registered with the U.S. EPA Design for the Environment program), and Gascó Food (a food-industry cleaning line served via a separate website, gascofood.com). The company also develops, leases ("arrendamiento") and repairs industrial cleaning equipment, providing a bundled chemicals-plus-equipment offering to its customers.

The underlying technology consists of proprietary chemical formulations, including five EPA-registered disinfectant products (160 Detergent & Disinfectant, 161 Detergent & Disinfectant, 320 Detergent & Disinfectant, Hospital & Critical Area Disinfectant, and Quaternary Sanitizer), food-grade specialty products such as Gascomin (an H1 incidental-food-contact lubricant) and Gascolac (88% lactic acid meat decontaminant), and a chlorinated alkaline foaming cleaner (FoamyChlor). Specialty formulations include a cold-temperature freezer cleaner, a bio-enzymatic grease destroyer, and phosphate-, phenylethoxylate-, and hazardous-preservative-free Eco-Clean biodegradable formulations.

The business model is sales-led B2B with a direct-to-customer distribution layer: products are sold via the company's own e-commerce storefront (gascoindustrial.net), direct phone/email ordering ([email protected], 787-737-4000), and a field service motion that includes equipment leasing and repair for enterprise customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled at order time. Target customer segments are hospitals and healthcare facilities, food processing and food service operators, hotels and restaurants, and general industrial and institutional buyers across Puerto Rico. The company does not sell through third-party resellers, marketplaces, or retail storefronts and operates entirely within a single country.
