Johnson, Samuel Curtis

Johnson, Samuel Curtis
▪ 2005

      American business executive (b. March 2, 1928, Racine, Wis.—d. May 22, 2004, Racine), served for more than 30 years, until 2000, as head of S.C. Johnson & Son, a company founded by his great-grandfather in 1886. Under his guidance the company, known for its Johnson Wax, enlarged its range of products to include such items as bug sprays and air fresheners and was transformed into four separate businesses. The environmentally conscious Johnson ended the company's use of chlorofluorocarbons three years before the U.S. government prohibition of them.
