The Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA) will hold the Specialty & Custom Chemicals Show at the Omni in Fort Worth, Texas, February 28-March 2, 2022. "The Specialty & Custom Chemicals Show is a valuable platform within SOCMA's suite of Commercial Services, and we are excited to provide this opportunity for the industry to once again connect face to face with potential business partners and industry colleagues," said Jenny Gaines, senior director of Communications & Engagement. "For 100 years, SOCMA has been a trusted source of intelligence and a convener within the specialty chemical supply chain, and we look forward to delivering this venue for our members and the industry in 2022."

In anticipation of the Fort Worth show, participants are encouraged to identify business growth opportunities through SOCMA's suite of Commercial Services. "Don't miss this prime opportunity to highlight your capabilities as part of SOCMA's Virtual Manufacturing Solutions Day, which brings the traditional Exhibitor Showcases to a digital platform," Gaines said. "During our first Manufacturing Solutions Day in March, we had 79 attendees from 59 unique companies, of which 66 percent were customers."

"Discover potential business partners throughout the year through SOCMA's Lead Sheets, our B2B matchmaking service for the specialty chemical value chain," Gaines continued. "While the trade show brings SOCMA's commercial offerings full circle, these resources are at your disposal, providing additional channels for your company's project evaluation processes."

The Specialty & Custom Chemicals Show launched in February 2019 with SOCMA as a show partner and has grown to almost 1,300 attendees and more than 200 exhibiting companies, the majority being specialty and custom chemical manufacturers. SOCMA acquired the show from Chemicals America in July 2020, underpinning SOCMA"s strategic focus of providing commercial growth opportunities for the specialty chemical industry.
