Committed: Dow's commitment to providing customers with the products they need, when they need them is exhibited in each and every one of its 73 manufacturing sites in 25 countries. Integrated feedstock capabilities make it possible to provide customers with a constant supply of high quality, highly consistent resins, which can be standardized globally for easy specification, uniform processing, and superior end-product quality. All of Dow's sites function within the highest safety and environmental standards – Dow is dedicated to Responsible Care^® and “Safety First, Pounds Second.”

Dow's proven historic reliability is a direct outcome of its day-to-day dedication to product quality, performance and on-time delivery around the world. With direct sales and technical support and development representation in more than 100 countries, Dow has the ability to share with customers its global understanding of the plastics marketplace, while supporting customers with regional and local needs.

Innovative: Serving customer needs is a priority at Dow, which means innovation is also a top priority. Dow continuously invests in technology to develop leading-edge effective solutions to expand into new market segments and offers its customers an opportunity for potential growth. Two-thirds of Dow’s corporate research and development budget is devoted entirely to new product development, while the other one-third is dedicated to “perfecting the known” – further refining its existing product offering via performance enhancements.

Dow works closely with customers to develop revolutionary products and technologies that deliver the best combination of quality, performance, long-term value growth, and differentiation. Dow constantly pushes technology by combining cutting-edge process and catalyst technologies with unique work processes. As a result, Dow offers its customers an opportunity to achieve speed-to-market with new and tailored solutions.

Versatile: Dow's balanced and diversified plastics portfolio spans the performance continuum – from the staples of the industry to highly differentiated specialty plastics and compounds. A high-level look at Dow's plastics portfolio reveals a broad range of polyethylene resins, polystyrene, polypropylene, engineering thermoplastics (ABS, SAN, PC, TPU, compounds and blends, SAN, PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Specialty plastics range from elastomers and specialty products, SARAN™ resins and specialty films, wire and cable compounds, and synthetic rubber, to revolutionary elastic fibers for the global textile industry.

As the competitive environment demands continuously improving solutions, Dow's very broad product line provides customers with an opportunity to find the exact match for their requirements – for performance, processability, differentiation and value growth across markets and applications.

Experienced: Dow provides customers with global expertise and local support, offering extensive material, science and fabrication expertise and an in-depth understanding of market dynamics and application requirements. More than just technical service, Dow offers a consultative approach to problem solving. Experienced professionals across all functions offer business expertise, supply chain expertise, financial services, product stewardship services, and more.

From personal contact to Internet presence, Dow makes doing business easy and convenient, 24 hours a day. Whether customers have questions about products, technologies, fabrication, order fulfillment, or almost anything else, Dow experts will share the latest knowledge, resources, and tools, quickly and personally. Dow's customers expect superior service, and Dow delivers it.

Effective: Propelled by an understanding of the factors driving today’s marketplace, Dow is dedicated to providing customers with a competitive edge. As a pioneer and leader in the plastics industry, Dow offers a combination of strengths that effectively give customers the opportunity to potentially lower total costs. Those strengths include global reach, operational expertise, fabrication knowledge, and market understanding.

Dow leverages its global presence by offering its customers an opportunity for potential growth, differentiation, profit and an opportunity to compete as cost-effectively as possible.
