Chevron Phillips Chemical will continue to handle bulk orders through normal sales operations.
“Our association with ChemPoint is based on previous shared successes that will help us achieve two main goals – to better connect with our customer base, and to extend outreach capabilities utilizing an electronic marketplace,” said David Miller, Western Region Sales Manager for Chevron Phillips Chemical. “As we expand our product lines, it remains critical that we are able to evaluate valuable information we receive from our customers and convert it into better products and, ultimately, stronger customer service.”
