The Minnesota Chemical Company (MCC), established in 1915, is a leading distributor of laundry supplies and equipment, primarily serving the commercial laundries and dry cleaning sectors in the Upper Midwest. Founded by R.P. Baker, the company originally focused on both distributing national brand products and manufacturing high-quality natural soaps. As the industry evolved with the introduction of synthetic detergents, MCC adapted by transitioning away from soap production and expanding its offerings to include an extensive range of laundry and dry cleaning equipment, parts, and services.
MCC prides itself on serving its customers efficiently and profitably, backed by a dedicated, expert sales staff and factory-trained service technicians. The company has built a solid reputation for providing innovative solutions tailored to on-premise laundries, dry cleaners, and coin-operated laundries. Their offerings include state-of-the-art washers and dryers from manufacturers like Milnor and Huebsch, as well as essential components like water heating systems and card payment solutions.
With a strong commitment to customer service, MCC actively participates in industry associations, advocating for professional development through training and educational seminars. The company's headquarters is in Arden Hills, Minnesota, with additional sales offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ensuring comprehensive coverage across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa.
Today, the Baker family continues to run the company, now in its third and fourth generations, ensuring MCC remains a trusted name in laundry and dry cleaning supplies and equipment throughout the region.
