Brazil has long played a part in the success of SC Johnson, a 112-year-old, family-owned and family-managed global business. H.F. Johnson Jr.’s pioneering trip to South America in 1935 established a strong bond between the Johnson family and company and the people of Brazil that continues today. |
| SC Johnson established a carnaúba processing plant in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 1937 and a plantation at Raposa, in the state of Ceará, in 1938 to serve as a research center for the growing, harvesting and refining of carnaúba and other waxy palms. The 400-acre plantation was later donated to the Escola de Agronomia of the University of Ceará for continued study of the trees. |
