NACD Affiliate Programs 

Chemical Supplier Affiliates

Chemical Supplier Affiliates are chemical supplier/manufacturer companies that do not qualify for NACD membership and are not equipment/service providers. Companies must have greater than 50% of their annual revenue attributed to the manufacturing of chemicals. Participation in the Chemical Supplier Affiliate Program provides endless opportunities to interact with NACD member companies – the group responsible for the majority of chemical distribution sales in the United States.

Chemical Handler Affiliates

The NACD Chemical Handler Affiliate Program is designed for chemical handlers whose primary function excludes the supply, manufacturing, or distribution of chemicals. Examples include public warehouses, recycler, and carriers. Chemical Handler Affiliates, like NACD members, are required to comply with Responsible Distribution.

Non-Chemical Handler Affiliates

Companies that do not handle chemicals but supply equipment and services to the chemical distribution industry are eligible to join the Non-Chemical Handler Affiliate program. This Affiliate Program was developed in response to multiple requests from non-chemical handlers for a more formal association with NACD members.
