Hide Profile

Monsanto Chemical Works of Saint Louis (Missouri) was founded in 1901 by John Queeny and named for his wife, Olga Monsanto. The company's first commercially successful product was saccharin followed shortly thereafter by refined caffeine, vanillin, and aspirin. Within thirty years, largely under the influence of Queeny's son Edgar, Monsanto Chemical Works expanded its business and product portfolio to include a number of manufacturing facilities in both the United States and abroad. In 1933, the company was renamed, "Monsanto Chemical Company." Today, Monsanto employs several thousand people world-wide and continues to advance in the areas of pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and agriculture.
