Our story is built on a simple yet powerful conversation between a father and a son.
When our founder, Jock Hamilton, told his son—our current CEO, Scott Hamilton—why what he did mattered, he didn’t focus on sales figures or chemical formulas. He focused on the impact. He told Scott that United Chemical mattered to the world for one reason:
What we do matters; what we do helps make people happy.
That sentiment is the foundation of our leadership and the reason we come to work every day.
How we get there is just as important as the destination. Jock built this company on four pillars that remain embedded in our DNA today. We use these core values as a compass to guide every decision we make:
We take our science seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. In fact, our mission is hidden in plain sight right on our bottle.
Our logo features a stylized “U” and “c” to resemble symbols on the periodic table, representing our dedication to hard science and innovation. Beside it, you’ll see a water molecule, signifying our deep connection to water care.
But if you look a little closer—and tilt your head—you’ll notice the position of that molecule suggests a sideways happy face. It’s a small reminder of our big mission: helping make people happy.
