 PROFILE
S.C. Johnson & Son helped consumers move from the flyswatter to the spray can. The company is one of the world's largest makers of consumer chemical products. These include Drano-brand drain cleaner, Glade air freshener, Johnson floor wax, OFF! insect repellent, Pledge furniture polish, Windex window cleaner, and Ziploc plastic bags. The first to sell a water-based insecticide (Raid in 1956), the company operates in 65 countries. The founder's great-grandson, chairman emeritus Samuel Johnson, and his immediate family own about 60% of S.C. Johnson; descendants of the founder's daughter own about 40%. The company has sold most of its personal care line and spun off its commercial products unit.
