In 1972, Robert Drexel Shockey saw the need for a special breed of supplier in the field of agricultural chemicals. He began Drexel Chemical with the commitment to provide quality products at an economical price. He knew that with a dedication to new technology and the constant fine tuning of the production process, costs could be controlled without sacrificing quality. These are the principles that have made Drexel Chemical Company a leader in the agriculture, turf and ornamental chemical industry for over 40 years, as well as setting the standard for generic pesticides.
