Welcome to the Texas Chemistry Council
Driving Innovation, Safety, and Growth
At the Texas Chemistry Council, we proudly represent an industry that is essential to modern life—and vital to the Texas economy.
For more than 100 years, the business of chemistry has called Texas home, serving as a powerful economic engine for our state. Today, Texas is the largest chemistry-producing state in the nation and the number one exporter of chemical products in the United States.
Our member companies produce the building blocks for everything from clean energy and safe drinking water to advanced manufacturing, consumer goods, and life-saving medical technologies. These capital-intensive operations represent more than $250 billion in facility assets across Texas, with nearly $6 billion invested each year in capital improvements to keep sites modern, efficient, and globally competitive.
As a major contributor to public revenue, the chemical industry in Texas pays more than $2 billion annually in state and local taxes. Because of the capital-intensive nature of our facilities, chemical manufacturers provide a significant share of the state’s property tax base—supporting local schools, infrastructure, and public services across Texas.
Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, TCC works to advance public policies that support innovation, sustainability, and economic growth while promoting safety and environmental responsibility across the chemical industry.
Together, we’re powering progress—for Texas and beyond.
