What began modestly in 1908 was inspired by enormous ideals. Over one hundred years later:

  • Customers remain our number one priority
  • Honesty, innovation and creative problem solving guide our daily actions
  • Strong, trusting relationships constitute our highest reward

From furniture and automobile polishes in 1908 to an immense assortment of floor and hard surface cleaning tools today, Golden Star’s passion for product quality and serving customers has never wavered.
