SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Chemico Group, the largest veteran and minority-owned chemical management supplier, announces that ChemicoMays, LLC has changed its legal name to Chemico, LLC. This name change marks the final step in the 2015 dissolution of the nine-year joint venture between Chemico and Mays Chemical. All business activities continue without interruption.
Leon C. Richardson, President and CEO of The Chemico Group commented: "Since acquiring 100 percent of the joint venture's chemical management business, we expanded our global presence, diversified our customer portfolio and grew the business by more than 50 percent – achievements for which I am extremely proud. While it was prudent for us to maintain the ChemicoMays name for continuity sake, it is important that we confirm the future direction of the business through a legal name change. We have developed our chemical management business into one of the largest black-owned businesses in the nation. We remain committed to delivering complete, efficient chemical lifecycle services that will help customers stay focused on their businesses."
