A FAMILY LEGACY
In 1976, Leo and Duane Shepard set out to build a business based on a simple principle: meet the cleaning and sanitation needs of the dairy industry with superior products and service.
That simple formula worked then and it continues to work today.
As a result, Shepard Bros.
has grown dramatically from its roots in the dairy industry, to become a premier supplier of specialty chemicals to a wide array of industries throughout the United States.
