S. E. Massengill Company
Defunct pharmaceutical manufacturer
S. E. Massengill Company was a pharmaceutical company founded in 1898 by Samuel Evans Massengill, who graduated from the University of Nashville Medical School but decided to manufacture drugs rather than practice medicine himself.[1] By 1937, it employed more than two hundred people in Bristol, Tennessee, including six graduate pharmaceutical chemists. In 2011, it was purchased by Prestige Brands, now known as Prestige Consumer Healthcare.
