We look with pride upon the history and accomplishments of our Company. Our Company name originates from George Augustus Bobrick, who founded it in 1906. It was known as Bobrick Chemical Company, manufacturers of various commercial products (waxes, ammonia, etc.). To promote the sale of liquid soap, Mr. Bobrick and his son, Arthur, designed and produced soap dispensers. (The chemical business was sold outright in 1938.)
G. A. Bobrick conceived the idea of the first liquid soap dispenser and was awarded a U.S. Patent for it in 1908. The Pullman Car Company later asked Bobrick to develop a soap dispenser for use in their railway passenger cars. The result was the first basin-mounted "Pullman" dispenser, which brought Bobrick a second U.S. Patent in 1912. These early inventions established Bobrick as a pioneer in soap dispensing equipment and set a new direction for our Company.
Today, Bobrick serves U.S. customers from three locations: the Corporate Headquarters and main plant in Los Angeles, plus manufacturing and customer service facilities in Clifton Park, New York, and Jackson, Tennessee. In addition there is Bobrick Canadian Headquarters and manufacturing plant in Toronto, Canada. Bobrick International has representatives in Europe, Australia, the Far East, Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, and the South Pacific Islands. Distribution centers have been added in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Australia, to support these markets.
