    With significant growth in revenues and employment, 2011 was the most successful year in Weatherchem’s 40-year history. In addition, Weatherchem's sustainability initiatives further its commitment to always leading its industry in new ways. With a focus on waste reduction and energy efficiency, Weatherchem has sought out ways to reduce its environmental impact. These initiatives, among others, make Weatherchem a pioneer in both packaging and sustainability solutions.
