3M Company

3M Company, which began as a mining company about 120 years ago, arguably made its first big step into the healthcare industry in the 1950s when it manufactured the first asthma inhaler.

3M also produced the first N95 respirator mask, which obtained FDA certification in 1972 and earned significant attention during the Covid-19 epidemic. Scotch tape is one of the most well-known products of any sort produced by the Minnesota-based corporation, which is today the single largest global manufacturer of sterile packaging for use in the medical industry.

3M now has total revenues of $32.8 billion, employs over 93,000 people, and spent just under $2 billion on research and development in 2019.
