Anheuser- Busch is the largest beer distributing company in the world. This is because over the years dating back to 1852 they have been pioneers in both their product production and distribution. Over the years they have faced a lot of criticism and setbacks. Most notably during Prohibition from 1920 through the early 1930s. In 2008 they were bought by the European company InBev and currently hold 49.6% of the market share. Today through the modern era they have also been one of the most successful companies when it comes to marketing their products.

I chose this mainly because similar to Abbott laboratories they have a very long history, they were founded in 1923. It was founded by Merrit J. Osborn. Early on they had some problems but because of an infusion by investors they managed to produce their first successful product Soilax. By 1928 they entered the equipment business for dispensing their Soilax into dishwashing machines. In 1933 they nearly failed again but because of employees taking a pay cut and giving up a month's salary they were saved. But then they were confronted with a new problem when Calgon Corporation made a better dishwashing detergent called Calgonite in 1934. But they convinced the Calgon corporation to allow them to be the sole distributer of Calgonite and then when Calgon stopped producing it they ripped them off and made super soilax. They were sued but Calgon lost so everything was fine. In 1948 they introduce their first dishwasher rinse additive. In 1957 the company goes public. In 1961 they purchase Klenzade Products, Inc. In 1964 they purchase Magnus Chemical Company Inc. In 1978 Fred T. Lanners, Jr., becomes the first non-Osborn to head the company. In 1979 they buy Apollo Technologies, Inc. In 1983 Apollo is shut down. In 1987 Company sells its consumer products division and purchases lawncare servicer ChemLawn for $376 million. In 1992 ChemLawn is sold to Service Master L.P. for $103 million. In 1994 Kay Chemical Company, maker of cleaning and sanitizing products for the fast-food industry, is bought. In 1997 they buy Australia-based Gibson Chemical Industries Limited for $130 million; they enter the commercial car wash cleaning products sector.

Synopsis: Dow is acquiring Rohm and Haas from Ingersoll-Rand at an agreed price per share of $78. However, a deal with Kuwait’s Petrochemical Industries Company, which was supposed to generate $7 billion of cash to be used to finance the acquisition, had recently fell-through. The hiccup has led to Rohm taking legal action to force Dow to complete the acquisition as required by the merger agreement. The standalone value of Rohm’s share price is currently at $46.77 while the synergies could almost double that to $94.63 per share. By going ahead with the deal Dow would need to raise capital and that might lead to a lower bond rating.
