Stepan has made donations of hand sanitizers and spray disinfectants to Chicagoland first responders on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis.
Donated Hand Sanitizers in Chicago
Stepan's plant near Joliet, IL has donated 800 gallons of hand sanitizer and several hundred gallons of disinfecting spray solution to the Chicago Police and Fire departments as well as numerous departments in the Chicago suburbs.
“
The health and safety of our community members and employees is – and always has been – our top priority. We are all in this fight together and we continue to encourage our teams across the globe to take creative and meaningful steps to support their communities,” said F. Quinn Stepan, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO of Stepan.
Stepan Produced Necessary Raw Materials
As a specialty chemical maker, Stepan was able to produce and access necessary raw materials and used its R&D and Pilot Plant capabilities to formulate and produce the sanitizing and disinfectant products.
While Stepan continues to manufacture cleaning and disinfecting products, including nonionic surfactants and biocides, for customers that are essential in the fight against COVID‑19, it recognized the urgent need of Chicagoland first responders for sanitation supplies as they continue to serve and protect the local communities.
“
This is just a small way that we can say 'thank you' for the work they are doing to keep all of us safe during this difficult time," said Stepan.
