Athea Laboratories

Athea Laboratories is a manufacturer and private labeller of specialty chemicals and wet wipes, founded in 1965 and operating from two locations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company produces more than 400 liquid, wet wipe and powder formulas and sells its products worldwide through distribution and OEM partnerships. Its manufacturing base rests on two capabilities: liquid blending and fabric converting.

The product portfolio spans wet wipes, disinfectants and sanitizers, cleaners and degreasers, industrial chemicals, insecticides, floor care products and custom specialty formulations. The company began with general toiletry items, such as shampoo, bubble bath, hand lotion and perfumes, before migrating into industrial chemicals. It has more than 20 years of experience in wet wipe converting.

Athea Laboratories also serves private label and OEM customers, offering what it describes as the lowest private label minimums in the industry, with stock products available at one-case minimums. The company reports more than 55 years in business and positions itself around flexible, low-barrier entry for private label customers and high quality manufacturing.
