Jasol's humble beginnings in South Australia
Jasol was established in 1934 when an enterprising chemist, Mr Charles Johnson, approached Mr Edwards (a prominent Adelaide businessman) with a formulation that enabled oil to be mixed with water. Together they formed a chemical company that we now know as Jasol. Mr. Johnson originally wanted to call the proposed company Johnson’s Antiseptic Soluble Oils Ltd but was content with the abbreviation JASOL.
Since that partnership Jasol has grown to become a household name in South Australia. Jasol’s business evolved into the manufacture and supply of cleaning and hygiene products specifically designed for a wide range of industries including institutional and building service contractors. This has enabled Jasol to grow from South Australia to establishing branches throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia. “Jasol has evolved into a significant player in the cleaning and hygiene chemical market in Australasia and Asia. With a strong focus on growth and development we have a strong and successful future ahead”. Sherif Hassanien General Manager Australia & New Zealand.
