SOCMA members and guests from 10 companies in the Houston and Louisiana region weighed in on the outlook for the specialty chemical industry over the next five years, how they are addressing capacity and labor constraints and future fluctuations, and regulatory and sustainability/EGS topics. These thoughts were shared during a SOCMA Regional Roundtable on June 16, 2022, hosted at Halliburton in Houston, TX.
More than 950 attendees were onsite at the Specialty & Custom Chemicals Show, making the first in-person industry event a resounding success. The Exhibit Hall was active with business-critical conversations, Exhibitor Showcases delivered up-close presentations on company capabilities, and conference sessions delivered timely intel and industry experience.
