Caldwell founded The Caldwell Company in Akron, OH. The company started as a manufacturer’s representative with Thompson Weinman & Co., a manufacturer in the rubber industry, as the first and principal client. During World War II natural rubber became scarce in the rubber city due to rationing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/education/for-students/ww2-history/at-a-glance/rubber.pdf )〕 The Caldwell Co. took on more clients to keep profits up including Harmon Color; this marked the company’s first experience with colorant. In September 1943 Caldwell Co. became incorporated, which was followed by fast growth and new customers. Due to the growth, the company was relocated to its own building on Cutler Parkway while remaining in Akron, OH. Richard H. Juve joined the company in June 1953 and introduced a line of stabilizing products to push sales in the rubber industry. He was followed by Harvey E. Cooper who joined in 1958 as a chemist from Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Both men acquired equal shares of The Caldwell Company making them President and Vice President of the company board. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Americhem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
