Diversey

Today’s Diversey has a rich legacy of businesses that were pioneers in the commercial, cleaning and hygiene business. Its roots begin in 1886, when S.C. Johnson founded his parquet floor business in Racine, Wisconsin. Not too long after, another of our legacy businesses, Diversey Corporation, was founded in 1923 in Chicago.

Both businesses continued to grow and thrive throughout the 20th century, serving customers around the world. In 1997, what was known as S.C. Johnson Commercial Markets separated from its parent company to form Johnson Wax Professional. Then, in 1996 Diversey Corporation was acquired by Unilever to become DiverseyLever.

In 2002, Johnson Wax Professional acquired DiverseyLever and the combined companies became JohnsonDiversey until March 2010, when the name was simplified to Diversey.

Our new name — Diversey — simplifies our identity to better reflect our global leadership in the commercial cleaning and hygiene industry. As Diversey, we are building a single, global identity that captures our strength in delivering solutions that our customers need and expect. We also took steps in 2009 to further strengthen our business. Together with premier private equity investment firm Clayton, Dubilier and Rice, we completed a recapitalisation of our business that provides the financial flexibility for us to expand our capabilities and portfolio of superior products, services and solutions.
