Abstract: Abstract OVER one hundred years ago, Herbert H. Dow founded The Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Michigan, USA. With its global headquarters in Midland, Dow has 115 manufacturing sites in 37 countries. Dow has grown steadily over the years, from a small midwestern company to the global company we are today. Dow is the fifth largest chemical company in the world with annual sales of more than $20 bn. Dow supplies chemistry-based solutions to customers in more than 160 countries around the world in a variety of industry sectors including automotive, appliances, aeronautics, electronics, home furnishings, construction, health care, food services and recreation. Our workforce, numbering more than 40000, mirrors this level of breadth and diversity.
