Neogen Corporation Revenue and Competitors

Founded in 1982, Neogen Corporation has grown to more than 300 employees in five U.S. and two international locations, and a worldwide presence. The Company, which became a public company in 1989, operates on a fiscal year that begins June 1 and is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol NEOG. The Company's Food Safety Division markets dehydrated culture media and rapid diagnostic test kits to detect foodborne bacteria, natural toxins, food allergens, genetic modifications, drug residues, plant diseases and sanitation concerns. Neogen's Animal Safety Division markets a complete line of diagnostics, veterinary instruments, veterinary pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements. In March 2003, Neogen acquired Adgen Ltd., based in Ayr, Scotland. Adgen provides the Company better access to the European Union, and allows Neogen to better serve its customers and distributors throughout the EU. The acquisition added to Neogen's international presence, and followed the establishment of sales and distribution offices in Shanghai, China, in 2002. In November 2003, Neogen acquired Hacco, Inc. and Hess & Clark. Hacco is a world leading manufacturer of rodenticide products based in Randolph, WI. Some of its more familiar brands include Havoc and Ramik. Hess & Clark was founded over 100 years ago and provides animal safety disinfectants.
