Dow Addresses Crisis Facing Transportation Services in the Chemical Industry
MIDLAND, Mich. - The Dow Chemical Company has established new transactional service standards for its chemicals customers in the United States and Canada. The new standards, which went into effect on July 1, 2005, apply to products from the company's two chemicals business portfolios - Chemicals & Intermediates and Performance Chemicals & Thermosets.
"The chemical industry as a whole is facing a crisis due to the shrinking of shared transportation resources," said Tim King, vice president of sales for the above businesses in North America. "Dow is taking the lead in addressing this crisis by establishing consistent standards that will enable us to continue to provide valuable transportation-logistics services for our customers."
