Wonder Tablitz Corporation partner Stephen Schultz provides strategic counsel on product development and design, as well as sales and marketing.

Stephen Schultz has more than 40 years of industrial and household cleaning products experience. He began his career in 1966 at Benda Products, Inc. (Canton, Mass.), a regional supplier and distributor of cleaning chemicals for industrial laundries, janitorial, dry cleaners and garment manufacturers. Recognizing several of the company’s products had potential consumer applications, Stephen Schultz packaged one stain remover and quickly secured distribution at a local grocery chain. Stephen Schultz’s success with the stain remover heightened his interest in consumer products. He sold Benda Products in 1988, but retained rights to the consumer stain remover formula and its packaging.

In 1990, Stephen and his wife, Joyce Schultz, founded The Gonzo Corporation (Canton, Mass.), to manufacture and market consumer household cleaning products, including the already successful stain remover formula. As president of The Gonzo Corporation, he lead his team, which included his two sons, to successfully develop and launch stain removers, dry cleaning sponges and odor absorbing crystals. The first product to receive national retail distribution was Gonzo Stain Remover, the formula created at Benda Products.

In 2003, The Gonzo Corporation was sold to a private equity firm specializing in consumer cleaning products – the Harbour Group (St. Louis, Mo.).

Stephen graduated from Northeastern University with a bachelor of science in business administration.

A Family History of Cleaning Up

With more than 70 years of combined experience, Stephen, Andrew and Bill Schultz are no strangers to the consumer household cleaning products industry. In fact, the Schultz family boasts a rich history of successfully innovating consumer products with proven retail appeal.

The family’s entry into the cleaning products industry began in 1972 when Stephen Schultz joined Benda Products, Inc. (Canton, Mass.), an industrial chemical manufacturer. Stephen recognized some of Benda Products’ industrial formulas and products could have tremendous appeal to consumers.

Stephen produced a consumer-friendly product package for a stain remover formula and presented it to a local grocery chain. In 1988, when Benda Products was sold, Stephen Schultz retained the rights to the consumer stain remover formula and its packaging and used this formula as the founding product for his next company –  The Gonzo Corporation.

In 1990, Stephen and his wife, Joyce Schultz, founded The Gonzo Corporation (Canton, Mass.). Andrew and Bill, the founders’ sons, joined the company as executive officers and partners later that year. Over the course of the next decade, the company developed and successfully marketed several key innovative products, including the founding product, Gonzo Stain Remover, as well as The Gonzo Wonder Sponge. By 2003, the company had grown dramatically and was subsequently sold to a private equity firm specializing in consumer cleaning products – the Harbour Group (St. Louis, Mo.)

However, the Schultz family continued to capitalize on its extensive industry experience and began exploring new ideas for innovative consumer cleaning products.

At the beginning of 2006, the family identified a need for effective consumer cleaning products that would also deliver significant environmental, cost and convenience benefits and established Wonder Tablitz Corporation to achieve their new mission. The Schultz family immediately began exploring an entirely different approach to household cleaning products, focusing on the use of patented effervescent tablets and patent-pending spray bottles to achieve their goal.

The new products – Wonder Tablitz – not only clean and deodorize effectively, but deliver significant environmental, cost and convenience benefits. Wonder Tablitz products became available nationwide in the fall of 2007.
