About the owner: Oil-Dri
Oil-Dri is a publicly listed company headquartered in Chicago, United States, founded in 1941. Brandtree records 3 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: ODC.
Oil-Dri is a Chicago sorbent-minerals company listed on the NYSE as ODC. Its fiscal 2025 10-K says it was incorporated in Delaware in 1969 as successor to an Illinois corporation from 1946, itself the successor to a partnership that commenced business in 1941. Besides its own cat litter brands it makes Fresh Step litter under an agreement with The Clorox Company, which owns that trademark, so Fresh Step is not listed here. It bought Ultra Pet Company (crystal litter) effective 1 May 2024; those brands are left off because no document read states their origin.
