EI du Pont de Nemours and Co.

Japanese: デュポン・ド・ヌムール[会社](英語表記)E.I.du Pont de Nemours and Co.
EI du Pont de Nemours and Co.
America's largest comprehensive chemical and textile manufacturer. Abbreviated as DuPont. Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. Established in Wilmington in 1915, DuPont took over the business of EI du Pont de Nemours Powder Co., a gunpowder manufacturer established in 1802 by Eleuthère Irénée du Pont de Nemours (1771-1834). With the long-term goal of reducing dependence on the gunpowder business and reinvesting profits, DuPont focused on research and development of nitrocellulose and other products using its gunpowder manufacturing know-how. It also diversified into dyes, synthetic resins, and paints through the acquisition of Harrison Brothers and Co. in 1917, Grasselli Chemical Co. in 1928, Roessler and Hasslacher Chemical Co. in 1930, and Remington Arms Company in 1933.
