Innovation comes from listening to customers. It comes from understanding their needs and finding new ways to fulfill those needs.

Since 1902, 3M has invented products that solve problems and satisfy needs.

Innovations like Post-it® Notes changed the way people communicate, Asthma sufferers around the world are breathing easier with CFC-free inhalers from 3M. Fewer accidents are occurring on highways and at work thanks to 3M reflective materials.

These products and over 60,000 more are produced by 3M simply from listening to customers and asking the right questions. Our dedicated people and core technologies are then put to task of doing what 3M does best: solve problems.

Some 85,000 3M employees in 59 countries work together to invent new products and bring them to market in more than 200 nations. Products from 3M are used in manufacturing, construction, hospitals, law enforcement, consumer's kitchens and offices around the world. Whenever they are found, 3M products change the way people work and live.

3M learned early that creating good products depends on listening to customers and solving problems. By helping our customers grow their business, we earn their loyalty.

Nothing matters more to us than providing solutions to our customers. Every new product is born out of a customer's need. And every imaginable need is the seed to 3M innovation.

Make the leap from need to 3M innovation.
