Dow Chemical Co.
America's second largest diversified chemical manufacturer. Headquartered in Midland, Michigan. Founded in Midland in 1897 by Canadian-born American chemist Herbert Henry Dow (1866-1930). Starting out with the production of bromine using an electrolytic process, Dow expanded its business to include the production of magnesium, chlorine, caustic soda, and other chemicals, and by the end of World War II had grown into one of America's leading chemical manufacturers. In 1947, it inherited the assets and business of the former Dow Chemical Company, and the new Dow Chemical Company was registered in Delaware (headquartered in Midland).
