Our History

Midland Scientific was founded on April 1, 1975 by John Gondring in Omaha, NE. The company’s objective was to meet the needs of industrial and commercial laboratories in the upper Midwest. John had previously worked in the Marketing Department of Mallinckrodt Chemical Works in St Louis. MO. A year later, John was joined by his wife Maggie, bringing with her ten years of experience at Monsanto in St Louis, MO. A warehouse and office were opened in Davenport, IA in 1977. In 2004 ownership of Midland Scientific was transferred to Maggie Gondring.

Midland Scientific originally sold only Mallinckrodt Laboratory chemicals. Over the years, many additional suppliers were added to the company’s offerings. Today, Midland Scientific has grown into a full line distributor of laboratory equipment, supplies and chemicals, representing over 200 manufacturers. In addition to chemicals, other major product lines include: glassware, plasticware, filtration, ph equipment, thermometers and hydrometers, microbiological products, containers, gloves, protective apparel and much more. The current catalog contains well over 25,000 items on close to 2,000 pages.

Midland Scientific has showed continued expansion over the years in a highly competitive environment. Midland Scientific has achieved this uninterrupted growth by offering quality merchandise, great product variety, same day shipment, helpful and friendly sales and marketing departments, extensive inventories and competitive prices. In a word, it is very easy to do business with Midland Scientific.
