On January 4, 2024, Madison Chemical celebrated 30 years of continual compliance and certification to ISO 9001:2015specifications – the longest within the cleaning and sanitation chemicals industry. The designation, which recognizes companies for adhering to stringent standards and processes, was first awarded to Madison on January 4, 1994.
In addition, the company has been re-certified for ISO 14001:2004 in recognition of their adherence to strict environmental standards and practices. They were originally awarded this designation on February 7, 2001, and have held it for over two decades. A chemical formulator which provides custom tailored solutions for food plant sanitation, craft breweries, wastewater treatment, lapping, metal pre-paint applications, car wash chemicals and more, Madison serves a wide range of customers from their Madison, IN headquarters and through strategically placed technical sales engineers across North America.

Maintaining these standards over many years requires more than meeting a certification requirement once, particularly when chemical production involves strict quality controls and attention to environmental practices. The work carried out by chemical companies can affect everything from the way raw materials are handled to how finished products are formulated, packaged, and used in industrial settings. This has made environmental considerations increasingly important within the manufacturing process, with greater attention being given to renewable ingredients, biodegradable formulations, waste reduction, and responsible use of chemicals.
These priorities are also seen across the wider industry, where chemical manufacturers are developing products for different applications while placing greater importance on how those products are produced and their effect beyond the manufacturing stage.
Chemical manufacturing therefore involves a balance between producing reliable solutions for industrial needs and maintaining processes that meet appropriate quality and environmental expectations. Continued attention to both areas can help companies maintain consistent production standards while responding to the growing demand for more responsible chemical practices.
“We’ve always held ourselves to a high standard for production, on-time deliveries, customer focus and environmental impact,” said Madison President Dick Goodman, “As the first chemical company to achieve this designation, it is gratifying to achieve this milestone because it allows us to better serve our customers while being environmental stewards for the generations to come. We’re humbled and honored to be recognized by ISO.”
