Gaylord Chemical Corporation
The company headquarters of Gaylord Chemical Company LLC are located in the New Orleans suburb of Slidell, Louisiana, USA. Gaylord's original manufacturing facility located in Bogalusa, Louisiana was shut down and demolished in 2010, when the company relocated its operations to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA. The company has manufactured dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl sulfide continuously since the early 1960's.
Prior to its acquisition by its management team in 2007 Gaylord operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Temple-Inland Inc. (NYSE: TIN). After the ownership transition was complete it continued to operate from its Slidell office, which had been established in the late 1980's. Gaylord announced expanded DMSO production capacity in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which came on-line in 2010.
Prior to being a subsidiary of Temple-Inland, Gaylord Chemical was a division of Gaylord Container Corporation, the successor (1986–2002) of the brown paper division of Crown Zellerbach (1928-86).

Famous quotes containing the words chemical and/or corporation:
“We are close to dead. There are faces and bodies like gorged maggots on the dance floor, on the highway, in the city, in the stadium; they are a host of chemical machines who swallow the product of chemical factories, aspirin, preservatives, stimulant, relaxant, and breathe out their chemical wastes into a polluted air. The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
