“I’m thrilled to have Olin back at ACC, especially as a leader and practitioner of Responsible Care, which is mandatory for all manufacturing members,” said ACC President and CEO Chris Jahn. “I look forward to the value that Stolt-Nielsen will bring to our ACC and members through its experience in the ever-critical fields of chemical transportation and storage. Together, we will continue to show local communities and our country why American success relies on American chemistry.”

Manufacturing members are companies that as a significant portion of their businesses, manufacture chemical products in the US and/or manufacture chemical products outside the US for sale within the US.

Affiliate members comprise the chemical industry’s value chain partners and fall into two distinct categories: Chemical Distributor Affiliates and Chemical Handler Affiliates.

There are also Associate member companies, which consist of essential providers to the business of chemistry.
