The company’s fundamental belief in high quality products has been the pillar of their success. In May of 1888 the company was re-named Bristol-Meyers Company, and in 1900 the company began “operating in the black, and has done so ever since.” Sal Hepatica-a liquid mineral laxative, and Ipana tooth paste-with disinfectant, were the first two great successes of Bristol-Meyers. ... Bristol-Meyers shot from a regional supplier to an international company. ... In 1929, Bristol-Meyers became a publicly held company, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

During the post-war time penicillin was mass produced for the allied forces, and it became clear to Bristol-Meyers, that penicillin and other such antibiotics, was a huge, profitable opportunity for them. Cheplin labs was renamed Bristol Laboratories. From 1943 on, Bristol-Meyers had a kind of new approach to expansion.
