Baxter International Inc
Baxter International Inc. is an American-based global healthcare company whose mission is to save and sustain lives. It manufactures a variety of products for the medical field, including pharmaceuticals, toys, sun protection equipment, and more. Established in 1931 by Donald Baxter, this company began as a small pharmacy on Chicago’s west side. By 1938 it had grown into a corporation with its sights set on developing lifesaving products with innovation and quality that would provide treatments to patients worldwide. In the later 1940s and early 1950s, Baxter produced penicillin kits which helped revolutionize antibiotic treatment during World War II and subsequently led to their development of the first successful IV (intravenous) solution systems in 1955. Since then, they have broadened their offerings through acquisition and internal innovation while continuing to focus on helping people around the world access life-saving treatments safely and effectively.
