Stauffer Chemical Company was an American chemical company which manufactured herbicides and pesticides for various agricultural crops. It was acquired by Imperial Chemical Industries from Chesebrough-Pond's Inc. in 1987.[1] In 1987, Stauffer's head office was in Westport, Connecticut.[1] Late that year, Imperial sold Stauffer's basic chemicals business to Rhône-Poulenc S.A.[2]
