| The Hydrite Company was created in 1929 in Milwaukee as a tannery. Following#the depression and WWII, the owners decided to go with a product less susceptable to depression and went with chlorine due to its use as a sanitizer. Over the years the company grew and expanded it's service}. Hydrite is now in numerous states and a major supplier of industrial chemicals serving many industries. The Oshkosh plant was built in 1981 on Oregon Street and has spots for multiple tank cars. The plant ns located on the former Soo Line right of way and still going strong in 2014. The name Hydrite came from a fanciful combination of the words hide and right as the original tanning company claimed to make yopr hide (hyde) turn out right. |
