Intel Corporate Office

Intel Corporation was founded in 1968 by Gordon E. Moore, Robert Noyce, Arthur Rock, and Max Palevsky. The name Intel comes from the original name for their company, Integrated Electronics.

The initial investment for Intel was $2.5 million. The company went public just two years later, with an initial IPO of $6.8 million ($23.50 per share).

Intel’s first product was a semiconductor. During the 1970s the business expanded as the company improved its manufacturing processes and diversified its product line to include memory devices, microprocessors, and one of the first microcomputers.

During the 1980’s Intel decided to focus on microprocessors. This started a period of unprecedented growth as the primary hardware supplier to the personal computer industry.

In the first decade of the 2000’s Intel’s growth slowed due to fierce competition.

Since 2010 Intel has acquired several businesses, including the manufacturer of security technology, McAfee.

Intel is also actively working on improving Artificial Intelligence, according to Forbes.

Today Intel manufactures motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers, integrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, and embedded processors.

Intel trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol INTC, is part of the NASDAQ 100 and the S&P 500, has 104,700 employees and had revenue of $53.54 billion in 2012.

Dow Chemical Corporate Office

The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) was founded in 1897 by a chemist named Herbert Henry Dow. In the beginning he sold only bleach and potassium bromide, which he extracted from underground brine with a new method that he invented.

In 1904 and 1905 British manufacturers of bleach and German manufacturers of bromide tried to undercut his prices to force him out of business and stop his expansion to Europe. He outsmarted them both times and learned that he had to diversify his product line rapidly to protect his company.

Within twenty years Dow had become a major producer of agricultural chemicals, elemental chlorine, phenol, and magnesium metal.

During WWI Dow Chemical supplied in the United States many materials previously imported from Germany.

In the 1930s Dow began to produce plastic resins, which would eventually become one of its major businesses.

During the 1940s and 1950s, Dow began to expand internationally. This proved to be very profitable, and Dow reached $1 billion in sales in 1964, $2 billion in 1971, and $10 billion in 1980.

During the Vietnam War, Dow manufactured napalm, which was used to make napalm bombs dropped on North Vietnam. The company also manufactured Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant containing dioxin.

During the 1990s and 2000s Dow went through several restructurings.

Today Dow manufactures plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. Dow has a presence in 160 countries, has 54,000 employees, trades on the NYSE under the symbol DOW, is part of the S&P 500, and had revenue of $58.76 billion in 2012.
