Overview
The Dow company, commonly referred to as "Dow," is a multinational chemical corporation that was founded in 1897 by Herbert H. Dow. The company is headquartered in Midland, Michigan and has operations in approximately 160 countries. Dow is a diversified company that produces chemicals, plastics, and agricultural products, among other things. Dow is most known for its production of commodity chemicals such as chlorine, caustic soda, and ethylene. It also produces specialty chemicals for a wide range of applications, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, and personal care products. The company's agricultural arm, Dow AgroSciences, provides crop protection and seeds to farmers around the world. In addition to its chemical and agricultural divisions, Dow also has an energy division that produces and markets energy products such as natural gas and related products. The company also has a materials science division that produces plastic resins for packaging, industrial, and consumer goods. Dow is one of the largest chemical companies in the world, with annual revenues of over $46 billion (as of 2020). It is also one of the oldest companies in the chemical industry, and has a long history of innovation and development of new products and technologies. The company has faced several challenges and controversies throughout its history, including environmental concerns and legal disputes. However, Dow has also been recognized for its efforts in sustainability and corporate responsibility, being named one of the world's most sustainable companies by Corporate Knights in 2019. In 2019, Dow merged with the specialty chemical company, DuPont, to form DowDuPont Inc. The merger resulted in the separation of the combined company into three independent, publicly traded companies in 2019, with Dow becoming a standalone company once again. Today, Dow continues to be a global leader in the chemical industry, with a strong focus on innovation and sustainable practices. The company's mission is to "deliver a sustainable future for the world through the power of chemistry."
