Major Employers of Chemists in the Northeastern Section by Don Rickter with valuable assistance from Karen Piper, Mike Filosa, Lee Johnson, Dorothy Phillips and others Eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire are a hotbed of dynamic chemistry companies. Some are start-ups that will grow dramatically. There are dozens of companies in both states. Some will merge or be acquired or change their names. Each has a unique personality and spectrum of expertise. The following list is most of the employers of seven or more members of the American Chemical Society — as of the end of May 2010. A few of the larger employers, with more than 35 ACS chemists, are in ALL CAPS. The locations are in eastern Massachusetts — unless marked with NH for New Hampshire.
