Wisconsin Chemistry Industry

There are many opportunities to have a career in chemistry in Wisconsin. From humble beginnings, companies like SC Johnson (Johnson Wax) and Aldrich Chemical have helped build a strong chemical community in Wisconsin. There is a growing presence in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Wisconsin University/Industry collaboration is fueling even more growth. Food and Farm science is strong in Wisconsin.

Analytical facilities serving industries from water to dairy abound. Paint/coatings, ink and adhesive companies have chemistry needs in Wisconsin. Many of these industry partners have taken advantage of educated personnel from the admirable education system in Wisconsin.

One would think that graduating students would have an easy time at finding an industrial position. This is not generally the case. Finding work is an emotional experience that tests ones fortitude and self esteem for sure.

The list and links below provide an introduction to Industrial Chemistry in Wisconsin. The list is not exhaustive, but fairly comprehensive. Since literally everything is a chemical, you'll find just about every company may have a need for someone with a chemistry background!

Disclaimer: No American Chemical Society information was used to generate this list; it has been generated from contribution from Wisconsinites with lengthy tenure in chemistry. ACS member data is private and not shared in a public forum.
