aldo, DOW is better buy than MMM at the moment now
CTVA is going up short term too, idk about long term though

t. someone who lives less than 5 miles away from Dow Chemical's world headquarters


MMM makes most things you'd find in a Staples store that isnt paper or pencils or printers

>Is all the chemical manufacturing just done at that single factory in Midland?
if by single you mean dozens (many factories at each site) in the city, yea, but a lot of business higherups from all over the world work here too, not to mention primary R&D for the company located here

theres also plants in the thumb, near detroit, and in other states probably too
(and huge ones in japan, and europe, worldwide in general)

they have patents for a bunch of mers(plastics), plants (Monsanto is a subsidiary of Dow, lol) and chemical solutions though, which may reduce their competition by a bit
Like if you make chemical C 37838 H 234 O 454654 then you are stealing intellectual property from dow, and you will be sued and forced to hand it over to them

but the factories our here can probably make things faster and cheaper than most places anyways (most plastic pellets, that are melted down and fit into molds used in products made by hundreds, if not thousands of companies, are made here)

most heavy industry things are like that though, most cars are built in one factory (per country/continent anyways), like every ford mustang ever made in the US came out of one specific factory, every single F-150 came out of a different one in another city or state, ectera

another example is how theres only a couple dozen factories that can manufacture an aeroplane worldwide

the world really is one big village nowadays, most people just dont realize how much they depend on it
