Legend Brands adds Chemspec to its product portfolio

[Doug Cox]

I used One Clean until it co-agulated with my deodorizer and then I switched over to Trashed Green, which has been great. Still have a case of detergent from the Masterclean days, but only use it on area rugs I clean in the shop.

Old news. I caught on when the local Chemspec disty started carrying SS products.

I'll have to check my local place and see if they got ss

Will sapphire finally get rid of their blue bottled chem line now? Because they all suck. Just saying. Chemspec should take and shut down their sapphire line.

Interesting read for me.

I started using some Chemspec gear back in the mid '80's, we didn't get a lot down under.

BUT !!

This bit intrigued me:

"Chemspec is known worldwide as an innovator of specialty chemical products and a problem solver for soft and hard flooring and fabric cleaning challenges".

No mention of leather ???

I just went out the back to my bookcase and dug out an old manual....

CHEMSPEC Leather Cleaning Training Manual.

Written by..

Aaron Groseclose 1991

It goes on to describe the different leathers, and how to apply All Fabric Stain Shield to leather.

It also contains MSDS sheets for Leather Clean & Conditioner, plus a page with leather samples glued on.

All this in a nice brown pvd folder with gold print on the front cover.

Any/all offers will be considered.

Do you get paid to slam our products every time they are mentioned or is it what you do for fun......... Just saying. :-)

I think he's paid!

No one else has such a hardon for knocking the Sapphire products.

 

[Ken Snow]

Lol- good ones Bill & Richard. Maybe there isn't much else to do in Bowling Green Kentucky.

Joey is good guy, just overly defensive of his primary brand to the point he headhunts for them. Hey I'd love for all my clients to be so loyal. ig:

If you ask me (and I KNOW nobody DID, so shut up Taco), chemical lines should be the least polarizing thing within our industry. What I mean by that is, there are PLENTY of chemical lines that work well, and only a handful of them that truly suck. I use Judson's products almost exclusively, but if a chemspec or SS dealer popped up near me, I'd switch over in a minute. No reason to get all worked up over a name.

My first impression after reading is that now you will be paying 30% more for the same product.

Bill. Your truckmounts are nice, and to be honest I recently bought one of your portables for high rise buildings. And I have tried many if your chemicals. And they are not very good. Period. So, I am just stating a personal experience of my own. And only you know how the actual sales of your chems are doing, not us. But I do know of 3 distys that stoppes selling ur chems, but love your machines. So my pointe is this.... im complaining about them because I would like to use them, so improve them. Duh

Maybe it's something in the water in Bowling Green that causes the problem?

If so i don't know about Joey but I haven't been getting my check and I totally agree that your current chemical line is the worst I have seen in 22 years in this industry. When you peddle crap that poor, people will comment on it. It's astoundingly bad stuff that is not even as good as the Zap line at home Depo.

If you keep the current line and merge chemspec under the current label it will be a dismal failure, it will just destroy what is left of Chemspec. Even interlink distributors are commenting how lame your chemicals are and we see them on the close out bin/ shelf, that speaks volumes. I have not heard one cleaner applaud your chemical line that is not selling you advertising.

Congratulations on the Chemspec acquisition, I hope we see you guys do great things with the line.

[Desk Jockey]

[joeynbgky]

I liked the Versa clean fission tlc and pet and stain remover all worked good. my only problem is finding them at a place I can drive to. I have my chemspec and prochem chemicals delivered to my dads business he takes it home and I pick it up at my convenience and I save a lot off shipping

Oh, you mentioned Versa Clean and that reminded me. I bought two cases of that from Pemberton and loved it for moderate soiling conditions.

Definitely hard to go wrong with Chemspec. Always has been a great line, just lousy marketing since our friend at Master blend left.

Legends Brands did 70 Million in sales last year according to RPM's annual report.

They did not acquire didley. Or was it the othe way around.
RPM owned/bought Chemspec a while ago.
RPM bought SS.
RPM combined the companies, or moved some lines around. Efficiency, better marketing, whatever.

That's what large big pocket companies do.

What's next for RPM?
Wallmart?

Bill, will RPM consider acquiring Alex Smith?
