Koch-Chemie history
Koch-Chemie started in 1968 when Hans Koch developed his own formulas for different type of polishes. At the time, he was not impressed by the quality of commercially available and professional products. As a cabinetmaker, he had a fuelled passion for creating perfectly smooth surfaces with a flawless finish. The final product created by Koch was of such quality that expert continued to ask for them. In the years that followed, Koch grew into a company that has set new standards in the detailing market. The next logical step was to develop better quality items for a larger range of processes within the “car washing” steps. Koch-Chemie doesn’t just focus on detailing-products, but also develops product for industrial usage, including floor cleaning and special machinery cleaning products.
