About the 3M Company.
3M, originally known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, is an American multinational conglomerate corporation founded in 1902. Its beginnings trace back to Two Harbors, Minnesota, where five businessmen set out to mine corundum, a mineral ideal for making sandpaper and grinding wheels. Their venture turned out not to be corundum, but they persevered, refining their business focus and becoming a dominant player in the market.
