Have you checked out the SOCMA Q2 Pulse Poll yet? Our latest industry snapshot reveals some intriguing trends regarding the state of specialty chemical manufacturing. - Growth on the Horizon: Nearly 40% of companies are projecting expansion in both contract and proprietary manufacturing. This optimism is tempered with caution, but the signs are promising. - Onshoring Gains Momentum: We're seeing a significant uptick in onshoring and nearshoring projects. 24% of respondents are now actively pursuing these initiatives, up from 14% earlier this year. This shift has the potential to provide significant opportunities for our industry. - Capacity and Workforce: While most manufacturers report ample space availability, about a quarter are operating at near-full capacity. This tightening is driving an interesting trend: many companies are looking to expand their workforce by 20-50% to meet future growth targets. Talent acquisition is continuing to be a key focus. - Market Dynamics: Energy/Electronics, Pharma, Agro, and CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers) are leading the charge, accounting for 76% of the most active market segments. These sectors are driving innovation and demand across the industry. - The Road Ahead: Despite regulatory challenges, there's a palpable sense of optimism for #NorthAmericanManufacturing. Our members are adapting, innovating, and positioning themselves for future growth. At SOCMA, we're committed to supporting this growth and fostering innovation in the #specialtychemical sector. We'd love to hear your thoughts on these trends. How are they playing out for your company? Read more in the full report: https://lnkd.in/eSuCEja3

When it comes to detecting and remediating perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), time is of the essence. Traditional methods of detecting PFOA at parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels require sending samples to an offsite lab. This is costly in both the time it takes to receive results – often 2-3 weeks – and in delayed action. Our team has set a path to ppt detection that will change the narrative for detecting PFOA, and other substances. Our Salvus Detection Platform delivers results in minutes, not weeks, at the point-of-concern to enable quicker, more informed decisions. As a result, remediation and management action plans can be rapidly deployed, helping companies comply with regulations.
