History

Midland Scientific was founded on April 1, 1975, in Omaha, Nebraska. Former employees of Mallinckrodt and Monsanto of St Louis, MO partnered to form Midland Scientific. The company’s objective was to meet the dynamic needs of industrial and commercial laboratories in the Upper Midwest. A warehouse and office were opened in Davenport, IA in 1977. In 2004, Midland Scientific became woman-owned.

Midland Scientific originally sold only Mallinckrodt Laboratory chemicals. Today, Midland Scientific has grown into a full line distributor of laboratory equipment, supplies and chemicals, representing over 200 manufacturers.

Midland Scientific has expanded to include a diverse base of customers across North America; however the typical customer is in the industrial, agricultural, ethanol, or food industries which are common in the Upper Midwest.
