Our Story
Our story begins after founder William Neumann Sr returned home from fighting in the Pacific theatre in WWII. He began delivering laundry bleach house to house and was inspired to start his own bleach delivery service named Miracle MAID which would eventually become Miracle Chemical Company out of his garage with only one truck. It wasn't long before Bill Sr. added a second truck to the growing business and his son Bill Neumann Jr. joined the family company making deliveries during the summer while he was home from college. In 1982 Bill Jr took over as president of Miracle Chemical and over the next decade led a period of growth that saw the company go from a garage to our present office warehouse space in Farmingdale in 1992. The proud tradition begun by Bill Sr all those years ago cotinues as Eric Neumann has joined his father to run the company. While the fleet of trucks has multiplied and the company has gone from delivering a few hundred thousand gallons of product per year to several million we will continue to honor Bill Sr's vision of a customer service driven way of doing busines as we continue to grow and look to the future.
