Why the name Cowboy Chemical, Inc.? Well, that started out as sort of a joke. Since one of the founders, Dale Rankin wears a hat and is called “Cowboy” by his colleagues, he figured that would be a good name for the company. The name stuck, so our customers and suppliers have learned to say “Cowboy” in many languages.
