Fourth-generation, family-owned company celebrates more than a century of growth, innovation, and commitment to its Cleveland roots. 

CLEVELAND, OHIO – November 6, 2026 

State Industrial Products proudly celebrates its 115th anniversary, marking more than a century of innovation, growth, and dedication to its customers and employees. Founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1911, State has grown from its local beginnings into a trusted provider of chemical solutions and maintenance programs for commercial and industrial facilities across North America. 

Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, State remains deeply rooted in Northeast Ohio. With its headquarters in Mayfield Heights and manufacturing operations in Hebron, Ohio, the company continues to build on the foundation established more than a century ago while expanding its reach throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. 

A Legacy of Innovation and Customer Commitment 

Throughout its 115-year history, State Industrial Products has continued to evolve alongside the changing needs of its customers. Today, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for drain and sewer maintenance, air care, cleaning and sanitation, warewashing, water treatment, and industrial maintenance. 

While its product offerings and capabilities have expanded, State’s commitment to personalized customer service remains unchanged. Through its dedicated team of field sales and service professionals, the company works directly with customers to identify facility challenges, recommend effective solutions, and provide ongoing support. 

This combination of innovative products and hands-on service has helped State establish lasting customer relationships and maintain a strong foundation for continued growth. 

Investing in the People Behind 115 Years of Success 

For four generations, State’s success has been driven by the dedication of its employees and a commitment to creating a workplace where people can grow and succeed. 

“Celebrating 115 years of State Industrial Products is an incredible milestone and a testament to the dedication of generations of employees and the loyalty of our customers,” said Seth Uhrman, CEO of State Industrial Products. “Having spent the last 4 decades with the company, I am especially proud to represent the fourth generation of leadership. I am grateful to my great grandfather Jay Zucker, my grandfather Mac Zucker, and my father Hal Uhrman for their mentorship, leadership, and the opportunity to carry their legacy forward. Most importantly, I want to thank our 650 employees and the countless customers who have contributed to our success. Their commitment and trust have shaped who we are today and will continue to drive our future.” 

That commitment was recently recognized when State Industrial Products was named a 2026 NorthCoast 99 Award winner for the 16th time. Presented by ERC, the NorthCoast 99 awards recognize outstanding Northeast Ohio workplaces that demonstrate excellence in attracting, developing, and retaining top talent. 

State also received the Employee Wellbeing Recognition Award, recognizing the company’s efforts to strengthen its employee wellness program and encourage preventive care. Together, these recognitions highlight the importance State places on its people and the role they play in the company’s long-term success.

Building on 115 Years of Success 

As State celebrates this milestone, the company remains focused on the future. Through continued investment in product development, manufacturing capabilities, employee training, and customer-focused programs, State is positioned to meet the evolving needs of the industries it serves.
