Gojo Industries, Inc., is a privately held manufacturer of hand hygiene and skin care products founded in 1946, in Akron, Ohio, where it is again headquartered after a period in Cuyahoga Falls.

During World War II, Goldie worked at the Miller Tire Co. rubber factory and Jerry at the Goodyear Aircraft plant.

Goldie and Jerry worked with Professor Clarence Cook of Kent State University's chemistry department to formulate a heavy-duty hand cleaner.

They called it Gojo Hand Cleaner and sold it to rubber workers, who had sometimes used benzene and other noxious chemicals to clean their skin.

[6] In 1950, Gojo invented a liquid soap dispenser after realizing that users were using much more than was needed to clean their hands, causing buyers to think the product was too expensive.

[10] In February 2014, Gojo Industries acquired privately held Laboratoires Prodene Klint of Croissy-Beaubourg, France.

[13] On April 30, 2024, after 10 years of disastrous management in Europe, Gojo Industries closes its establishments and asks to place Laboratoires Prodene Klint in receivership before imminent liquidation.

Originally the headquarters of Goodrich Corporation and then Michelin Americas Small Tires, the building now holds about 600 Gojo employees.
