About Usalco | Leading Water Treatment Chemistry Partner

Unlocking the future of water, one innovation at a time.

Water powers everyday life

Our technology and services go further and work harder to empower others, because when everything depends on clean water, only the best will do.

history

From pioneer to industry leader

In 1980, our founder, Lawrence Askew, invented  a new manufacturing process for sodium aluminate. A process that reinvented coagulant technology and built the entire industry Usalco still builds and innovates in. Powered by creativity and customer service, we continue to reinvent and clarify water treatment one process, chemical, and technology at a time.
