International Paper Corporate Office

International Paper Company was formed in 1898 when 18 pulp and paper mills in the Northeastern United States merged. This newly formed company supplied 60% of the newsprint in the United States by 1900.

In the early years power interests played a dominant role in the company; International Paper established hydroelectric plants and power companies in the 1920’s. At one time, International Paper supplied enough electricity for all of New England, Quebec, and Ontario. This interest was so dominant that International Paper & Power Company was organized to acquire International Paper Company in 1928.

In 1935 a law was passed making it illegal for an organization to run both a power company and an industrial firm. The company therefore began to focus on paper and packaging.

During World War II International Paper developed Victory Board, which was used to make boxes to send supplies to troops in combat. Because of the increased competition after the war, the company began to invest more heavily in research and development.

During the 1960’s and 1970’s International Paper began to diversify and take risks. Some of them were successful and others were not. This led to the company having $564 million in debt in 1971, and a streamlining and reorganization throughout the 1970’s as a result.

In the 1990’s International Paper expanded to Mexico, Brazil, China, and Eastern Europe.

Today International Paper is the largest producer of plastic lids and cups, serving corporate clients such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Subway, and Starbucks. The company produces printer paper, envelopes, copier paper, corrugated packaging, shipping containers, and consumer packaging. It also owns xpedx, a distribution and logistics company.

International Paper is part of the S&P 500 and the Fortune 500, has over 60,000 employees worldwide, and had $26.034 billion in revenue in 2011.

Hartford Financial Services Group Corporate Office

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., commonly known as The Hartford, was founded in 1810 in Hartford, Connecticut by a group of local merchants as the Hartford Fire Insurance Company.  The company survived the fire that destroyed New York’s financial district in 1835, the Chicago Fire in 1871, and the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906.

Halliburton Corporate Office

Halliburton Company has its roots in the 1919 founding of the New Method Oil Well Cementing Company by Erle Halliburton. In 1921 he patented his new method of excluding water from oil wells. Halliburton then invented the cement jet mixer, which eliminated hand-mixing of cement.

By 1922 the company had cemented over 500 oil wells. In 1938 Halliburton cemented its first off-shore well off the coast of Louisiana. In 1940 the company opened offices in Venezuela to introduce bulk handling of cement for the oil industry.

In 1968 Halliburton developed an automated mixing system for drilling mud, to be used off-shore.

The Pentagon, led by then-defense secretary Dick Cheney, paid Halliburton subsidiary Brown & Root Services $8.5 billion to study the use of private military forces with American soldiers in combat zones in 1991 following Operation Desert Storm. In 1995, Cheney became CEO of Halliburton. Cheney resigned from the company during the 2000 U.S. presidential election when he went on to become Vice President of the United States. Halliburton was embroiled in several controversies relating to the company’s ties to Cheney, especially during the 2003 Iraq War.

In 2010 investigations carried out by the National Commission found that poor practices of Halliburton staff had contributed to the Deepwater Horizon explosion. The cement used by Halliburton was an unstable mixture that caused hydrocarbons to leak into the well and caused the explosion that started the crisis.

Today Halliburton is one of the world’s largest oilfield services companies and has operation in more than 80 countries. Halliburton employs more than 100,000 people worldwide through its hundreds of subsidiaries, affiliates, and divisions. Halliburton’s revenue for 2011 was $24.8 billion.
