Our Story - Four Generations of Quality Products and Service

Grant Industries is a privately held company involved in the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of textile, cosmetic, and performance specialty chemicals. The company's involvement in the textile industry dates back 60 years and four generations. The late Charles Granatell founded the company in the late 1930's in Haledon NJ. A few years later Charles' only son Tom joined him and the two of them began selling textile chemicals.

In 1967, Tom began running the company after having worked with his father for over 30 years. By 1975 Tom's two oldest sons, Chuck and Mike, joined him and a third generation began managing Grant Industries. Grant Industries made one of its largest acquisitions in 1977. The company purchased Chemical Products Corporation and moved its facility from Haledon NJ to its current headquarters in Elmwood Park NJ. As a result of its acquisition Grant became involved in the cosmetic industry. At that time, Chemical Products was manufacturing hydrolyzed proteins, which were being sold to a number of large producers of hair care products. Over the years many new products were developed and added to the cosmetic product line including our flagship silicone elastomers and powders featured in many top selling brands across the globe.

The company continued to grow and diversify. By 1990 the rest of Tom's sons, Dave, Joe and Paul, joined the company. In 1996, Grant celebrated its fourth generation when Tom's oldest grandson Tom joined the company. We now welcome the addition of Charles Granatell, who joined us this spring after graduating from Bryant University.

Today, the entire Grant team is focused on running a successful global business based on the rapid deployment of innovative products. Family owned for more than 60 years, we will never forget how we got here: selling quality products along with providing quality service. Most of our purchase and sample orders are followed with same day delivery. This is very important to our customers who need rapid product delivery. This customer focus continues to be central to our business. As you visit our web site, if you can't find a product that you are looking for just give us a call.
