Last week's trivia answer

Born in 1897 and headquartered in Michigan, I'm a diversified chemical company with annual revenue of $54 billion and 46,000 employees around the world. You'll find me busy in water, shoes, food, pharmaceuticals, paints, packaging and personal care products, among other areas. My early offerings included bleach, and I introduced Saran Wrap in 1957 and a one-shot measles vaccine in 1965. I was testing Ziploc bags in the 1970s, and in the mid-1980s I introduced super-absorbent DRYTECH polymers, used in disposable diapers. I also make Styrofoam and Great Stuff foam sealant. Look for my red diamond. Who am I?

( Answer: Dow Chemical )
