We are currently formulating and blending more than 100 different products for all types of cleaning and maintenance needs — from the dirtiest industrial equipment to the most delicate hands.

How it started
Founded in 1968 byJack P. Rencher
Technichem was founded in 1968 by Jack P. Rencher. Jack had a long and varied history of sales — from vacuum cleaners, real estate, and chemicals, to cars and trucks. But chemicals stuck.
Technichem started in a small building in downtown Boise, Idaho, blending and formulating its own line of cleaners and specialty chemicals. Some of these original formulations are still in use today.
Drox, our first product, is one of the formulas we are still blending today. The current formula remains very close to the original, with just some minor improvements to the ingredients.
Our second product, El-Bo Grez, continues to be one of Technichem's leading sellers. Undoubtedly, El-Bo Grez is one of the most versatile products currently on the market.
Jack passed away in 2010 at the age of 88, but the company he built continues to grow under the same family commitment to quality and customer-driven formulation.
Leadership
Brian Rencher
President & Mad Scientist
Brian carried forward the family legacy that Jack P. Rencher started in 1968. A Boise State University graduate, Brian oversaw all formulation and product development at Technichem — his name is on every Safety Data Sheet the company produces.
The "Mad Scientist" title wasn't a joke — Brian was hands-on in the lab, developing new formulas and refining existing ones based on direct customer feedback. When a customer called with a cleaning problem nobody else had solved, Brian was the one who figured it out.
Several of Technichem's 100+ products were originally formulated by Brian to address a specific customer's need to get something clean. That customer-first approach to product development is what keeps facilities, shops, and homeowners coming back.
"If you have a special or unfilled need in cleaning and maintenance, give us a chance to assist you."

Acquired
Brian secures Technichem's future
After decades of building on his father's legacy, Brian partners with Land View, Inc. — preserving the formulas while adding industrial-scale manufacturing capabilities.
Today
Heritage formulas, industrial muscle
100+ original formulas now backed by Land View's industrial infrastructure. Same quality, same people, bigger capabilities — serving customers nationwide from Rupert, Idaho.
The next 55 years
Built to last.Backed to grow.
After decades of building on the foundation his father laid in 1968, Brian Rencher made a decision about Technichem's future. Rather than let the company he grew up in fade with time, he chose a partner that would protect what matters — the formulas, the quality, the customer-first approach — while adding the resources to take Technichem further than a single family operation ever could.
That partner is Land View, Inc. The acquisition brings Land View's industrial infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities together with 55+ years of proven Technichem formulation. Every product is still blended using the same recipes. What's changed is what's behind them — expanded capacity, broader distribution, and the industrial-scale resources to serve larger accounts and more complex projects.
For B2B customers, this means larger volume orders, faster turnaround on custom formulations, and industrial capabilities that weren't possible before. For homeowners, it means the same trusted products with better availability and faster shipping.

What we stand for
Built different than a distributor
We make what we sell
We're not a distributor reselling someone else's product. Every formula is developed and blended at our own facility in Rupert, Idaho. That means better pricing, faster turnaround, and direct quality control on every batch.
American sourced
We are committed to purchasing our raw materials from American-based producers and suppliers. Realizing we operate in a global economy, Technichem pledges to support local and American-based businesses first.
Environmentally conscious
In today's clean environment, Technichem continually looks at new and old environmentally safe products to support a healthy and clean earth. We formulate with safety and sustainability in mind.
Customer-driven formulation
Several of our products were originally formulated to address a specific customer's need to get something clean. If you have a cleaning challenge we haven't solved yet, give us a chance — that's how our best products were born.
Locally owned and operated
After 55 plus years, we are still located in Idaho and locally owned and operated. We're not a national conglomerate — we're your neighbors, and we take pride in that.
From heavy-duty to delicate
We provide products that will clean the dirtiest equipment to washing the most delicate hands. Over 100 formulas covering every cleaning and maintenance need across every industry.
