OCTC is the leading advocate for Ohio’s chemical technology industry in Ohio, the third largest chemical manufacturing state in the nation. Since 1988, OCTC has represented the state’s high-tech chemistry community before elected officials, the media and public.
OCTC accomplishes this through a combination of lobbying, regulatory advocacy, member engagement, issue monitoring, sharing of news and developments, community relations, technical assistance and promoting environmental and science education through our Teachers, Industry and the Environment (TIE) program.
