Dow employs more than 400 people in Purchasing around the world. These employees are dedicated to delivering substantial and sustainable competitive advantage to Dow businesses and customers. We manage the purchasing and payment of more than $68.5 billion in goods and services each year in over 160 countries.

Dow Purchasing ensures that the Dow businesses, internal clients and customers we support have the materials and services needed to run an efficient, profitable enterprise. This activity, as well as the management of the entire process around it, is organized into “commercial” areas as follow:
