Company history

DuPont’s history traces to 1802, when Éleuthère Irénée du Pont established a gunpowder mill on Brandywine Creek. In the 20th century, the company expanded into advanced materials: nylon was developed in 1935 and introduced in 1938, Teflon was discovered in 1938, and Nomex was introduced in 1967.[10]

DuPont broadened into agriculture and biosciences through its 1999 acquisition of the remaining stake in Pioneer Hi-Bred and its 2011 acquisition of Danisco. The current DuPont de Nemours, Inc. was formed in 2015 in connection with the planned merger of DuPont and Dow; that year, DuPont also spun off its Performance Chemicals business as Chemours. The merger with Dow was completed in 2017, creating DowDuPont, which subsequently separated Dow in 2019 and Corteva later that year.[28]

In 2024, DuPont announced plans to separate into three companies, revising the plan in 2025 to retain its Water business and separate Electronics; the Electronics separation, forming Qnity Electronics, was completed in November 2025. In 2026, DuPont completed the sale of its Kevlar and Nomex aramids business to Arclin.[35] [30]
