Our Story
For 73 years, Miracle Chemical Company has proudly been family-owned and operated. Our story begins in 1952 when William Neumann Senior, returning home from serving in the Pacific during WWII, founded Miracle MAID, a bleach delivery service, out of his garage in Holmdel, New Jersey. As the business steadily grew, William’s son, Bill Neumann Junior, joined the family venture, helping with deliveries during his summer breaks from college. In 1982, Bill Junior took over as president of Miracle Chemical. Over the next 40 years, he transformed the company from a modest operation with two trucks selling thousands of gallons of bleach annually to a thriving business with a fleet of nine trucks delivering over two million gallons each year. Continuing the family tradition, Bill Jr.’s son Eric, began working for the company during his high school summers. After taking time to pursue his own entrepreneurial ventures, Eric returned to Miracle Chemical in 2012, collaborating closely with his father to lead the business. In January of 2025 Eric was named the new president, ushering in the third generation of family leadership. The company is excited to embrace Eric’s vision for the future while remaining true to its core values.Through three generations, one thing has always remained constant at Miracle Chemical: our unwavering commitment to William Neumann Sr.’s vision - a customer service-driven approach to doing business.
