Chemical Sector approved as a strategic industry
Most of the European countries have designated the Chemical Industry as a strategic sector to provide essential services and products that allow companies such as DOMO Chemicals to continue production. The Chemical and Plastics Industries are qualified and well equipped to address many world challenges in times of crises.
DOMO ensures the health and well-being of all its colleagues, customers, suppliers and the broader global community. DOMO’s products, which include solutions for packaging, textile, agricultural and technical applications, play a critical role in supplying the Healthcare and Food Industries. Polyamide-based innovations meet some of the world’s greatest challenges, helping to protect human health as well as the environment, and therefore reduce the current impact on the world we all share.
