The Kuehne Company was founded in 1919 by the Kuehne family in Newark, New Jersey. We have since grown to be a major supplier of bleach, caustic soda, and other chemical products in the Northeastern region of the United States. Even though we now have three locations, at Kuehne, we are one big family. 

Although we like to have fun, our job is meaningful and immensely important. The majority of the bleach we manufacture is high-strength bleach that is sold to municipalities who use it to purify both waste and drinking water. Bleach is a biodegradable material that is made from electricity and salt water, and we are constantly seeking other ways to make our processes more sustainable.
