ST. LOUIS — Jim Erlinger, president of Jilchem Brokers, Inc., recently announced the company’s 25th anniversary in the pesticide industry. Started in late 1979, and doing business as Erlinger Sales Co., the pesticide brokerage firm has helped applicators and dealers buy and sell excess and surplus inventory in order to save money on no longer used and overstocked chemicals.
Erlinger started in the industry in 1973 with Crown Chemicals in St. Louis, which was a predominant supplier to the Pest Control industry. The company is able to buy and sell a whole range of insecticide, termiticide and herbicide chemicals.
