 Our Company History

•         Galaxy Associates was founded by Mel Fisher, former owner of Texo, in 2002.  Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Galaxy Associates began developing and promoting specialty process chemicals to the Metal Finishing and Pulp & Paper industries.

•         In 2003, Galaxy purchased Nalco’s Transportation Group.  With this transaction, Galaxy Associates entered into the Transportation Industry, providing cleaning programs, along with process spray systems.

•         In 2004, Galaxy acquired Fremont Industrial expanding its Metal Finishing business and product offerings. With over 50 years of providing product and services to the Metal Finishing industry, incorporation of Fremont into the Galaxy organization, strengthened Galaxy’s presence in this industry.

•         In 2007, Galaxy purchased Innovative Chemical Solutions (ICS), a Metalworking based company.  Acquisition of ICS allowed Galaxy to expand into metalworking and process cleaning operations.

•         In 2008, Rieskamp Equipment Company was acquired.  This transaction strengthened Galaxy’s ability to manufacture and service a larger assortment of vehicle wash systems.  With over 40 years experience Rieskamp engineered, manufactured, installed, and serviced vehicle wash systems for the bus, rail, trucking, petroleum, municipal, and military customers around the world.

•         In 2009, Challenge, Inc. was purchased by Galaxy expanding sales and product offerings in Metal Finishing and Mask Washing operations.
