It's the makers of widgets of all sorts that need to buy plastics, resins, solvents, surfactants, etc. from companies like Dow. When the widget makers send manufacturing overseas, companies like Dow lose their domestic customers. Hence, more general manufacturing here, more sales for Dow here.<br /><br />I do agree that Dow has made investiments in the US over the past few years. On the other hand, Liveris laid off 3500 Rohm and Haas workers.
