About Summit Brands
Summit Brands manufactures household cleaning products including the Plink and Iron OUT lines in Fort Wayne, Indiana, producing appliance cleaners, rust removers, and hard-water treatments that help American households maintain their major appliances.
Heritage & History
Summit Brands has been manufacturing cleaning and maintenance products in Fort Wayne, Indiana for decades, building a portfolio of brands that address specific household maintenance problems. The company's Plink brand became the go-to solution for garbage disposal cleaning and deodorizing, while Iron OUT earned a reputation as the definitive rust and iron stain remover for laundry and bathroom surfaces. The Glisten brand addresses hard-water deposits in dishwashers and washing machines.
Fort Wayne has a strong manufacturing heritage, and Summit Brands has been part of that tradition. By keeping production in Indiana, the company maintains the quality control that determines whether a cleaning product actually delivers on its claims. Iron OUT's rust removal chemistry requires precise formulation — too weak and it doesn't work, too strong and it damages surfaces.
Made in Fort Wayne, Indiana
The Fort Wayne facility produces the full range of Summit Brands products, from the small foaming Plink tablets that freshen disposals to the large containers of Iron OUT powder used by households with severe iron water problems. Each product formula has been refined over years of production and customer feedback, resulting in formulations that professionals and consumers rely on.
Garbage disposal cleaning, washing machine freshening, dishwasher descaling, and rust stain removal are maintenance tasks that most households face, and Summit Brands has built American-made solutions for each of them. The Made in USA manufacturing is not just a marketing claim — it reflects the company's long-term investment in Indiana operations and workforce.
