PBI-Gordon is celebrating its 50-year anniversary
PBI-Gordon is celebrating its 50-year anniversary.
Founded in 1947 in Kansas City, Missouri, as Private Brands Inc. by John Mueller, Bob Mueller, John Mathias and Roy Boxmeyer, the company started by formulating pesticides for a variety of chemical companies.
In 1956, Private Brands Inc. acquired Gordon Chemical. Fourteen years later, in 1970 the names of the two companies were combined and Private Brands became known as PBI-Gordon.
By 1968, the company, while still formulating chemistries for other companies, started its own brand of products.
Today, the employee-owned company produces its own line that includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and growth regulators for the professional turf and ornamental management industry. The company also develops and markets products for the consumer lawn, garden, farm and ranch, animal health and grooming, and consumer and veterinary markets.
