NORSHEL INDUSTRIES

Norman was a former regional manager for the Fuller Brush Company® selling cleaning products door to door in the mid 1960's. Realizing the world was changing and having the burning desire to create a company to support his growing family, Norman bought a broom manufacturing company in the late 1960's. Broom manufacturing turned out to be a different sort of challenge that took him in a direction away from selling. He sold that business and looked for a more balanced way to provide great cleaning products to the region. This led to the opening of Norshel Industries in 1970 out of his and his wife Rochelle's garage. Norman's knack for knowing great cleaning products and his love of sales grew the company through several warehouses and sales facilities. Along the way Norman balanced his resale of various products to retail stores with the addition of the manufacturing of mop heads and related floor maintenance products. This lead to the manufacturing of bigger and more heavy-duty products for the commercial cleaning Industry. The commercial mop head business flourished and many more commercial cleaning products were added to the line. Currently, there are over 3,000 items available sourced from some of the finest manufacturers in North America as well as many imported products from all over the world. The current owner/managers of Norshel have been working at Norshel for 26 and 30 years respectively. You could say they grew up in the business. Because they did.
