Barton Solvents was established in 1938. Bud Barton was working for a petroleum products producer, delivering naphtha to dry cleaning establishments in central Iowa, until one day the company announced it was dropping his route. Bud was reluctant to abandon his customers, so he set up an office in his home and went into business. His first task was buying an old truck just to have something to trade on a new one. By 1946, Barton had put enough aside to open a plant. Barton Solvents offers bulk delivery, package delivery, contract warehousing, laboratory services, liquid packaging, custom blending and product analysis. Barton Solvents is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa.
