From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an immense strain on the chemical distribution supply chain. Recently, America’s supply chain crisis has reached new levels of dysfunction and these ongoing disruptions are having severe impacts on product availability, businesses’ bottom lines and consumers’ wallets.
Chemical distributors are responsible for processing, formulating, blending, repackaging, warehousing, transporting, and marketing chemical products for over 750,000 customers in nearly every industry. They play a vital role in ensuring a vibrant paint and coatings industry keeps running by providing critical products like coatings for life-saving equipment such as ventilators and vital signs monitors, cleaning products and mold/mildewcide treatments, the interior coating of steel and aluminum food and beverage cans that ensure food safety, and many others. To continue serving their customers in the paint and coatings industry and elsewhere, distributors must be able to book cargo and receive it in a timely manner at fair prices.
National Association of Chemical Distributors President & CEO Eric R. Byer will explore the current supply chain scenario and what we need to alleviate the current crisis and strengthen our system to safeguard against future crises.
