KBR

In 1901, Morris Woodruff Kellogg opened M.W. Kellogg as a tiny pipe fabrication business in New York and grew it into a world-class engineering firm. Kellogg’s engineering expertise and thirst for innovation led to the creation of new technologies and industry milestones, including the world’s first catalytic cracking facility and Europe’s first crude oil-based liquid ethylene cracking facility. In the 1960s, Kellogg revolutionized fertilizer production through the creation of a new ammonia process, making a rapid growth in global food production possible. Many of the innovations that originated in the Kellogg laboratory provided the foundation for the petroleum refining and petrochemical processing facilities and remain an important part of KBR today.
