Brainerd Chemical is a member in good standing of the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD).

Brainerd Chemical President, Mat Brainerd welcomed the Congresswoman with a tour of the facility and an opportunity to meet and speak with many of the dedicated employees of Brainerd Chemical.  Brian Allen, General Manager at the Brainerd Chemical Dunn facility, also hosted the tour. Mr. Allen was recently asked by Congresswoman Ellmers to serve on her Small Business Advisory Council. The Congresswoman learned more about NACD's Responsible Distribution program which Brainerd Chemical and all members of the Association adhere to each year. Responsible Distribution is an environmental, health, safety and security program for the chemical distribution industry.

"It was such a pleasure to meet with the people of Brainerd Chemical in Dunn today," said the Congresswoman. "Good jobs have been created in the Second Congressional District of North Carolina at Brainerd Chemical, and I am proud to know more about their record of safety, earned through Responsible Distribution." 

NACD and its over 400 member companies are vital to the chemical supply chain providing products to over 750,000 end users. They make a delivery every six seconds while maintaining a safety record that is more than twice as good as all manufacturing combined. 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.
