Business Tools | Friday July 5 Delaware Assembly Honors DuPont's 200th AnniversaryThe Delaware General Assembly recently passed a resolution honoring DuPont for its accomplishments throughout the company's 200-year history. The resolution cited DuPont's long history of research, which has resulted in "many innovative and useful products" that "have made the lives of people around the world happier, more productive, more comfortable and more secure." It also noted DuPont's core values: safety, health and the environment, ethical conduct, and respect for people. Founded on the banks of the Brandywine River in 1802, DuPont's headquarters is in Wilmington, Delaware. The company also maintains eight manufacturing and business sites in the Diamond State. DuPont Performance Coatings, which includes the DuPont Finishes, Standox, Spies Hecker, and Nason brands, traces its history to 1924 and the introduction of Duco nitrocellulose lacquer, the first sprayable automotive finish. Today, it is a leading supplier to the automotive finishes industry worldwide. ©2002 Collision Repair Industry INSIGHT | FEATURED INSIGHT Supports the NABC! |
