“It is with great pride that on our 40th anniversary I announce this major step in providing localized and direct support for our many customers throughout the United States. This fits with our corporate goal of providing increased support to the industries we supply across all of North and South America.

We intend to make use of the impressive local infrastructure available to help us efficiently move our products in and out of the state and to become a respected part of the local business community. Our slogan of Northern Chemistry. Global Reach. Universal Responsibilities. takes a giant step forward with this announcement,” said Antonio Mancuso, President, Mancuso Chemicals Ltd.

Mancuso Chemicals choosing Clarke County is one more example that Mississippi isn’t just some small state—we’re competitive, we’re aggressive and we know how to get deals done.
