History
Diversey Corporation was founded in Chicago in 1923. In 1978, it was acquired by Molson.[5] In 1996 it was acquired from Molson by Unilever, who merged it with its professional cleaning arm to form DiverseyLever.[6] Johnson Wax Professional acquired the company from Unilever in 2002, and it became known as JohnsonDiversey, Inc.[7] Johnson Wax Professional was a subsidiary of S. C. Johnson & Son until 1999, when it was spun off.[8] In November 2009, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice acquired 46 percent of Diversey, Inc.[9]
In February 2010, Curt Johnson stepped down as the head of Diversey, Inc. following allegations of repeated sexual assault of a child.[10] In March 2010, the name changed again to Diversey, Inc., with a new tagline, “for a cleaner, healthier future.”[1][11] In June 2011, Sealed Air announced that it was purchasing Diversey Holdings for $4.3 billion and the deal was completed in October that year.[2][10] Diversey President and CEO Edward Lonergan continued to lead Diversey after the Sealed Air acquisition.[12] The Carlyle Group bought Diversey G.K., “Diversey Japan” (an indirect subsidiary of Diversey, Inc.) in November 2012.[13]
Riley Construction named Diversey’s headquarters a LEED-Gold Certified green building.[14]
