Services or Products Description:
While not a household name, Oil-Dri provides products that make life a little nicer at home, work and play. Our branded consumer products are sold through retailers along with products we manufacture for other marketers. Our agricultural, industrial, sports field and fluids purification products are not found on store shelves but they too impact our lives everyday.
Oil-Dri's Specialty Products Group, which makes Pure Flo, Select, and Perform products, provides customers with much more than bleaching clay, we surround our customers with the highest level of service. In addition to the finest quality and most extensive mineral reserves in the industry, Oil-Dri has state-of-the-art research and development capabilities and technical representatives who can optimize your processes.
Corporate History and Milestones:
Oil-Dri Corporation of America was established in 1941 when Nick Jaffee, the company's founder, introduced clay floor absorbents to the factories and garages that were using sawdust to soak up oil and grease on floors. With this first sale of Oil-Dri floor absorbent, Nick began a business, founded an industry and helped create a cleaner, safer work environment.
Since then Oil-Dri has grown from a distributor of a single product into a vertically integrated developer, manufacturer and marketer of products for a variety of markets. The company's product lines have been diversified by leveraging the qualities of its extensive mineral reserves and knowledge of its markets with a creative product development program and innovative manufacturing teams. The company's Innovation Center in Vernon Hills, IL is the source of some of the finest mineral research in the industry. The company is committed to innovative product development, which is the driving force behind the continued growth of the company.
