About Us
The company began in 1968 when Ross Agar started producing high quality wax polish, toilet bowl cleaner, mopping detergents and disinfectants for Melbourne cleaning contractors. He gained a reputation for working 'on the job' with cleaners. By better understanding their needs, Ross started formulating and manufacturing more efficient cleaning chemicals. Not surprisingly, these products were very popular and the company has now grown to just under fifty staff members and spans throughout Australia and New Zealand.
From humble beginnings to present day, Agar has continued under family
ownership. Although originally not written down, the company has always
kept in line with the same goal:
'To make customers more successful by supplying them with reasonably priced products that allow their cleaning staff to work more productively and safely'.
