Fisher Scientific Company

Fisher Scientific was founded in Pittsburgh in 1902 by Chester Garfield Fisher, when he was only 20. His company was the first commercial source of equipment and reagents for the laboratories of western Pennsylvania's booming factories, as America became an industrial nation. C.G. Fisher's mission was to create a one-stop shop for the scientist, and during its century of growth, the company has become a world leader in serving the needs of science - in research, clinical testing, and occupational health and safety.
