Ardex Laboratories history
Ardex Laboratories was founded in the 1950’s by Arron Joseph Goldman, after a period of roughly 20 years where Arron Goldman developed products, fueled by his passion for nature and chemistry. Going door-to-door at this time, he sold his products and learned what the customers where looking for. White-walls where very difficult to clean that time, but with his specialized products he developed a product to clean them back to like-new. Along with Dexter, he eventually started a company that was devoted to automotive reconditioning products. This company was called Ardex (ARron and DEXter). Some of the products that where developed with this partnership where Topaz, New wave, Tungsten ceramic and Miami shine. They build an organization that has spread its sale over the United States and internationally in selected countries. The company is currently run by Steve Goldman.
