General Chemical Industrial Products makes soda, but don't be tempted to take a drink. The company produces soda ash, which is a raw ingredient in the manufacture of everything from glass to soap and detergent to textiles. General Chemical's lone production facility and mine are located in Wyoming; the company owns 75% of the facility, with glass container manufacturer Owens-Illinois owning the rest. In 2008 General Chemical acquired the mica production assets of Zemex. Soon after that deal, Tata Chemicals bought the company for about $1 billion, at which point Zemex was spun off to General Chemical's shareholders.

TCR Industries, founded by Tony Rumfola in 1975, will recognize its thirty-sixth year operating as a manufacturers' representative organization June 1st. Our beginning was dealing in distressed inventory brought on by the infamous "oil embargo" which occurred in the early 1970s. A very large percentage of manufacturers requiring chemical raw materials overbought because uncertanties of availability requirements to make their finished products. Thus, when the curtain lifted ending the "oil embargo" caused shortages, there were staggering inventories interfering with cash flows. Opportunities were there to buy these inventories at discounted prices and sell at discounted, but profitable prices. The process was helpful to all parties concerned, and it helped in the start up of TCR.

Samsung Total Petrochemicals sticks to the basics. The company manufactures building block chemicals that go into the making of a host of other chemicals needed to make the stuff we can use. It starts with a naphtha cracker, yielding propylene and ethylene, which are the raw materials in the production of all manner of polymers. Samsung Total divides its operations in three: polymer production (polyethylene, polypropylene, high- and low-density polyethylene), base chemicals (selling the ethylene and propylene the company doesn't use itself, as well as aromatics used to make the materials that go into synthetic fibers), and petrochemicals like solvents and liquefied petroleum gases (propane, butane, etc.).
