In 1960 Mr. Ed Matthews decided to create a company called Steamex of Long Island. Mr. Ed Matthews' company had become a success due to the marketing of the Steamex carpet extractors. This particular machine had changed the industry. In addition, Ed Matthews had introduced his own line of cleaning chemical. Mr. Matthews decided to brand his innovative products with the name of "SOLI" to shorten Steamex of Long Island. In addition, Ed Matthews, a flooring contractor himself, sold a wide variety of flooring supplies to the trade. His success allowed his reign to last over 29 years until 1989 when he decided to retire. He sold the company to Jerry and Nelson Goldberg in 1989. These two brilliant minds added a different dynamic by offering another division catering to the restoration industry. Over the course of their journey, they had developed several chemical products to act against restoration damages. This furthering of advancement, allowed them to introduce training seminars to educate and certify the restoration contractors so they could professionally deal with the major insurance companies.
