Mt. Hood Chemical Changes Name. Mt. Hood Solutions Reflects Values and Tradition of Service.
Mt. Hood Chemical has announced a name change for the 106-year-old company. Now to be known as Mt. Hood Solutions, the new name reflects the company’s commitment to meeting customer needs through product formulations, quality customer service and a corporate responsibility to the environment.
“We wanted to change our name to reflect our commitment to creating environmentally friendly, sustainable solutions for institutional and industrial customers,” said Tom Mulflur, Mt. Hood Solutions President.
Mt. Hood Solutions is integrating sustainability into every decision they make. They are providing environmentally friendly, sustainable products by complying with the EPA’s Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI) and participation in EPA’s Design for the Environment (DFE) program. To meet those requirements, they have voluntarily agreed to use only safer surfactants in their products. Additionally, packaging and water usage are being revamped to incorporate more and better recycling methods. The company is also sourcing other environmentally friendlier raw materials for products, has converted all of their forklifts to electric and delivery trucks to biodiesel and has added hybrid vehicles to their fleet.
The adoption of a new tagline reflects their new position: Rethinking clean. Since 1902. This positioning recognizes the company’s history of service and also highlights the ongoing product innovations the company has made throughout its history.
Mt. Hood Solutions
is based in Portland, Oregon. The company serves
hotels, restaurants, hospitals, manufacturing companies and a wide variety
of additional customers across Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Utah, Northern
California, Colorado and Northern Nevada.
“We are proud of our tradition of service,” said Mulflur, “and
even prouder of the new direction and emphasis we are placing on our customers
and our community.”
