DD Chemco, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Donald Katz. Drawing on three generations of family experience and success in the personal care and food industries, Don started out by selling two product lines. His office was a desk in the corner of his garage, which also served as DD Chemco's first warehouse. From these humble beginnings, DD Chemco has grown into one of the most respected distributors of cosmetic and personal care raw materials in the Western United states.
