The new office space serves as one central location for more than 40 employees in customer service, feedstocks, finance, purchasing and supply chain for North America. These employees were previously located in five separate buildings in Midland, both inside and outside the Michigan Operations plant site.

"Midland remains Styron’s largest location in the U.S., with 183 employees in Midland, including the 40 employees who are located in the new building on Ashman Street,” said Jeff Denton, Vice President of Feedstocks and Corporate Services. “By committing to a larger office space in downtown Midland we hope promote Styron’s culture as an independent company, demonstrate how we’re continuing to invest in the local economy and further build our presence in the Midland community.”
