Stauffer Chemical Company Pioneered West's Sulphur Industry
Sunset Magazine notes that the Stauffer Chemical Company, founded in 1885, greatly advanced sulphur, borax, and soda production in the West. Starting from a small Bay and Dupont street site, it grew to occupy nearly three city blocks and extensive Alameda Contra Costa and Ventura County holdings, becoming a leading global chemical manufacturer. It began with washing soda, then boracic acid and borate of soda borax in 1887, and by 1888 refined sulphur imported from Japan, becoming the first to successfully produce Bouée Marseille sulphur products.
