History

Hanshaw Commission Company was founded in 1980 by Paul Hanshaw. Serving as a past President of the Arkansas Agricultural Pesticide Association and a former board member of the national Chemical Producers and Distributors Association, Paul was in the agricultural chemical business since 1960 and spent the last fifty-five years in sales, formulation, distribution and dealership of Crop Protection products. Hanshaw prides itself on being a family owned and operated business working to serve dealers, distributors, and buyers nationwide. Paul’s son, Hunter, began working with Paul in the early 2000s, and now serves as President of Hanshaw Chemical Company.

Under Hunter’s guidance, our business and industry have evolved into much more than the Hanshaw Commission Company name implies. We are excited to announce our new company name “Hanshaw Chemical Company.” A nationally recognized supplier of Agricultural Chemicals throughout the United States, we are proud of our history.
