The Dow Chemical Company is an American multinational chemical corporation headquartered in Midland, Michigan, United States and is a subsidiary of Dow Inc. The company is among the three largest chemical producers in the world. Dow manufactures plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. With a presence in about 160 countries, it employs about 54,000 people worldwide. Dow has been called the "chemical companies' chemical company," as its sales are to other industries rather than directly to end-use consumers. Dow is a member of the American Chemistry Council. The company tagline is "Seek Together". In 2017, the company merged into DowDuPont, and in April 2019, the company's parent, Dow Inc., was separated into a public company via a corporate spin-off.
