“MFG Chemical has been a SOCMA member since 1990. Membership has provided valuable industry connections and commercial opportunities, while SOCMA’s Government Relations and EHS&S programs have been instrumental in helping us stay informed on regulatory trends and collaborate with peers to advance safety and environmental stewardship.”

“SOCMA is big enough to make a difference in DC, but intimate enough to develop meaningful relationships with industry partners. There’s no other avenue for a toller on regulations unless you hire consultants. With SOCMA, we’re able to pick up the phone and get the advice and information we need, and the staff is passionate, thoughtful, timely and accessible.”
