SOCMA: Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates

 Submit your company’s application.

There are 6 reasons why your company, as a Small and Medium-Sized Chemical Enterprise (SME) in the batch, custom and specialty chemical industry, should join SOCMA.

1. Community – There is strength in numbers. SOCMA makes it a priority to learn how we can help our members’ communities.
2. Recognition – The SOCMA Board of Governors (BoG) and committees are comprised of executives from companies like yours. No “one-size” perspective or specific product line is solely represented. Committees are led by our member companies, not by SOCMA staff.
3. Representation on Capitol Hill & Inside Regulatory Agencies – SOCMA is recognized by government bodies (Congress, Department of Homeland Security, EPA, OSHA, etc.) as the expert in all matters dealing with batch, custom and specialty chemical SMEs. Policymakers regularly look to SOCMA to be the voice of the SME chemical industry on current industry priorities.
4. Environmental Emphasis – Because each of our members is unique, ChemStewards® was created especially for the SME, by SME’s. Unlike other Performance Improvement programs, ChemStewards compliance is facility-specific.
