ABOUT FAULTLESS BRANDS

Faultless Brands is a 130-year-old privately-owned business whose principal enterprise is manufacturing and marketing across the fabric, fragrance and home care categories to consumer and commercial markets. The company headquarters, manufacturing plant, research laboratory, and distribution center are located in Kansas City, Missouri, USA.

In 1887, Major Thomas G. Beaham came to Kansas City and bought into a company selling coffee, tea, and spices, which was to become Beaham & Moffit. Later, Beaham & Moffit bought the formula for Faultless Starch from Bosworth Manufacturing, and renamed the business Faultless Starch Company.

In 1960, Gordon T. Beaham, III joined the company as the 4th generation of Beahams to lead. Known to his associates (employees) by his first name, Gordon, who possessed and exercised a far-reaching entrepreneurial spirit for the 50 plus years he led the company, pioneered the transformation of laundry starch from dry powder to an aerosol can; thus offering the time-saving convenience consumers were demanding, and still demand, in caring for clothes.

Gordon partnered with other small family companies domestically and around the world to license aerosol starch to makers outside of the USA, export finished goods around the world, acquire Bon Ami and Kleen King powdered cleansers, import and make famous The Garden Weasel rotary cultivator and more. His accomplishments infused the company with an enthusiasm for offering many new and different consumer products that still flourishes today.

After adding Bon Ami products to the line, the company again changed its name to Faultless Starch/Bon Ami Company in 1974.

In 2018, the company selected its first president & CEO to come from outside the company ranks and the second not to be a member of the founding and shareholding Beaham family. Sean Williams, CEO, combines innovation, strategic thinking and world-class marketing with an ability to engage and inspire teams. The Beaham family welcomed Sean to continue the great legacy of the company.

In November 2018, the company changed its name to Faultless Brands to signify the unification of operations, portfolio and approach across the fabric, fragrance and home care categories.
