Monson Companies is a dynamic, growing organization with a varied history. Our original company, Monson Chemicals, was founded in 1965. We built our state-of-the-art Leominster, Massachusetts facilities in 1981. In the late 1980's we acquired Lovezzola-Ward Company and Washburn-Linder & Company, both specialty chemical distributors. And the newest member of our company, Shurtleff Industrial, further broadens our capabilities with ice-melting and inorganic chemical products. Shurtleff Industrial and Washburn-Linder can each trace their roots back to the 1800s.
