SOCMA: Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association

SOCMA manages various separately funded, affiliated associations and consortia. They address specific chemical or process advocacy, regulatory, testing, stewardship, or technical issues that are of common concern or interest to a particular sector of the chemical industry (e.g. chemical-specific or class of related chemicals or applications). Each group is managed independently with its own membership, budget and governance.

As affiliates of SOCMA, these groups are able to benefit from the collective SOCMA staff resources, management and expertise.  Since the early 1970’s, SOCMA has been a focal point of action for over 50 trade associations, professional societies, and educational foundations, including a variety of chemical, special issue, and testing consortia (e.g. for TSCA Section 4, HPV).

The 30-year experience and flexibility of SOCMA association management services are the perfect fit for the ever-changing demands of the chemical industry. Please use the navigation menu located on the left hand side of this page to view the targeted efforts managed by SOCMA.
