How it started
1934–1986
1934, C. G. Johnson founded Jasol Chemical Products Ltd. on the 13th of August 1934, with 2,000 shares of £1 each divided among five shareholders, (Millie Johnson, E. G. Lawton, F. G. Lawton and F. E. G. Edwards.) The registered office was in Flinders Street, Adelaide. Their Head office was at 57 Gawler Place, with a warehouse at 19 California St. Other premises occupied at various times were ANA Building in 1937 and Epworth Building in 1949.
At the outset, much of the delivery was done by Johnson on a pushbike. Most sales were through the wholesalers Bickfords and Fauldings.
1936, a warehouse facility was set up in Flinders Street, then moved to 33 Pirie Street in 1942, which remained its head office until at least 1962.
1960, a greatly enlarged facility was set up in Willcox Ave, Prospect.At this time, Jasol was the most active manufacturer of chemicals in South Australia. During this time an aerosol plant was installed.
1971, the company was acquired by Faulding Pharmaceuticals.
