"This decision was driven by our commitment to strengthen our operations and add another layer of security," said Chairman and CEO Don Knauss.
Clorox will start with its Fairfield, Calif., plant. The company expects to complete the transition there within six months, followed by a phased, multiyear transition for six additional plants.
"This process requires significant expertise, training, and changes in infrastructure and equipment," Knauss said. "Our plant-by-plant approach will also enable us to apply what we learn along the way, ensure supply availability, minimize business disruptions and help make sure the transition is undertaken in the most effective manner possible."
"Clorox leads our industry in safety and security," Knauss said. "Our bleach plant employees are experts at handling chlorine, and we're proud of the fact that we've used it responsibly for our entire 96-year history. Even so, we're pleased to begin implementing this process change to make our products using high-strength bleach."
