It occupies 62 acres located in an industrial corridor along the Mississippi. The plant has produced many high value added organic chemicals over the years and, its close proximity to Monsanto's Research center, provides an ideal location for introduction of new products. There is an abundance of expansion area available, with utilities and services available for growth. In an increasingly competitive world marked by faster technological and market change, you are either the very best at what you do or you do not do it very long. The Queeny Plant is reshaping itself in response to this intense global competition and more volatile environment. We are moving in directions designed to surpass our competition. As Monsanto's birthplace, this site has played an important role in our company's past and we expect to play an important role in the company's future. While much of our effort is directed at consolidation, we are also positioning ourselves for the future. We are accelerating our cost-reduction progress while placing equal priority on safety, quality, and customer satisfaction to assure the Queeny tradition continues into the next century.

In 1901, an enterprising visionary named John Francis Queeny opened the plant with just one other employee, a Swiss chemist. The plant bears the founder's name, and Queeny named the company after his wife's maiden name, Monsanto. A number of very important chemical products were pioneered at the Queeny Plant. Some of the earliest products like Saccharin, Vanallin and Aspirin provided the financial foundation that helped Monsanto grow to be one of the top five chemical companies in the United States. Today the J.F. Queeny Plant remains one of Monsanto Company's primary plant sites. Members of the professional staff hold degrees in a variety of disciplines including Accounting, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, and Personnel.
