World-Leading Innovation Rooted in the Heartland of America

The Andersons began in the late 1940s in Maumee, Ohio, when Harold and Margaret Anderson started The Andersons Truck Terminal as a family partnership with their six children. What began as a grain terminal, built with nine truck bays for faster service to local farmers and rail transfer along the Maumee River, quickly grew into something more. Before long, a few of the Anderson brothers were behind the barn with a one-yard concrete mixer, the same kind they had used to build grain elevators, along with conveyor belts and scales, blending their own fertilizer. That hands-on operation laid the groundwork for what would become our professional turf business and, in 1964, our first plant dedicated to lawn fertilizer specialties.
