Six New Members Join SOCMA Specialties Community

The additional members expand the association's membership to 142 companies.

April 21, 2021

The Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA) recently welcomed Johnson Matthey, Sharp International Services, American Chemical Solutions, Kelly Registration Systems, Sage, and Treadstone Advisors. These additions expand the association's membership to 142 companies that represent diverse innovation and capabilities across the specialty and fine chemicals supply chain.

Johnson Matthey, a global leader in sustainable technologies, and American Chemical Solutions, a vertically integrated industrial chemical manufacturer, are returning members. Both companies cited the value of strategic growth opportunities through SOCMA's ChemSectors intelligence network and suite of commercial services as key factors in their decision.

"The growth potential we see in a SOCMA membership is far-reaching, and we recognize now as the optimal time for us to return as a member," said Ken Zrebiec, Johnson Matthey's vice president of Manufacturing Operations. "We are confident our Health business unit will thrive with the unparalleled intel gained through SOCMA's ChemSectors network and its API & Excipients Peer Group."

According to Terry Chomniak, director of Business Development at American Chemical Solutions, "We're turning to SOCMA to help bolster our entrance to the toll manufacturing market. Supply chain disruptions emanating from the pandemic highlighted the importance of a diversified product portfolio, and SOCMA's industry intelligence and opportunity for exposure to new customers helps achieve that."

The remaining four additions include:

  • Sharp International Services—full-service chemical solutions provider for warehousing, toll manufacturing, transloading, and packaging
  • Kelly Registration Systems—service provider helping agrochemical manufacturers and marketers formulate, package, and distribute plant protection products
  • Sage—proprietary software provider for accounting, business process, and other cloud-based technologies to accelerate manufacturer and other company growth and enhance operations
  • Treadstone Advisors—strategy consultant with focus areas on preparing companies for sale process, developing and executing acquisition target screening processes, and strategic marketing and strategy consulting
