The National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) and petrochemical market information provider ICIS have announced a new partnership. Under the deal, ICIS will produce NACD's Chemical Distributor magazine, beginning February 2013.
To be distributed to the NACD membership on a quarterly basis, ICIS will enhance the editorial and production elements of the Chemical Distributor magazine while maintaining its focus on issues pertinent to the chemical distribution industry as a whole. The newly produced magazine will provide insight and updates on key customer segments, market pressures, government programmes and legislation/regulation, and general business matters relevant to the membership and industry.
This partnership expands an over-five year relationship between NACD and ICIS. ICIS is the official Media Sponsor of NACD, and for the last 5 years has published the NACD Annual Meeting Supplement, a special publication released immediately following the NACD Annual Meeting each year.
The Chemical Distributor magazine has a subscription base of 1600 but hits a much wider circulation through redistribution within NACD member companies' employee ranks. It has been published for 36 years and provides the NACD membership with news and insights on government advocacy, Responsible Distribution, management and leadership topics.
NACD and its over 400 member companies are vital to the chemical supply chain providing products to over 750,000 end users. NACD members are leaders in health, safety, security, and environmental performance through implementation of Responsible Distribution, established in 1991 as a condition of membership and a third-party verified management practice.
