After 23 years with ARCO Chemical, John Madden, a Chemical Engineer with an MBA, bought Hi-Brett Chemical, now known as HIBRETT PURATEX, and moved the company to Pennsauken NJ. Subsequently John purchased other companies, notably Puratex, Barnett Laundry Supply, Phoenix Laboratories and Lion Supplies. Over the years the company morphed into a combination distributor of industrial chemicals and branded products, a blender of industrial cleaning compounds and a custom manufacturer of products, and a provider of water treatment compounds.
The company’s business plan focuses on providing products and services to independently operated companies that require chemicals as part of the service they provide but prefer to source them.
The company emphasizes safety and compliance with regulatory agencies as core values.
John P. J. Madden, the owner and CEO, was born in Manhattan in 1945, achieved a B. S. Ch. E and MBA, spent a tour with P&G and then joined ARCO. After a variety of domestic assignments and a tour in Japan & Korea, John left corporate America. He is a seasoned executive enjoying business, learning something new every day, solving problems and meeting new friends, and he still enjoys getting his hands dirty.
