Wiley Process Solutions at Chemicals America 2025: Optimism, Opportunity, and Industry Momentum
Coshocton, OH – August 7, 2025 –The Wiley Process Solutions team had a fantastic time at Chemicals America in Savannah, where industry optimism was in the air and meaningful conversations were flowing. With the heat of summer came a heat of another kind: a surge in the chemical manufacturing sector—especially in North America.
Lucas Watson, Business Development Manager for Wiley Process Solutions, noted, “It seemed busier this year, with more meaningful traffic and conversations. Momentum in the industry is returning.” That shift in energy was echoed throughout the show, as attendees discussed reshoring, global supply chain adjustments, and a clear demand for American-made specialty chemicals. With many plants in Europe shutting down and companies working to reduce reliance on China, the U.S. and India are emerging as key players in future growth.
Capabilities That Caught Attention
Wiley’s booth drew steady interest for more than just its design—our capabilities stood out in conversations with both current and potential partners.
“We were told we’re one of the only North American tollers who can handle hundreds of metric tons of hazardous material and still produce a GMP product—without the pharmaceutical price tag,” said Watson. Distillation and wiped film evaporation remained hot topics, especially when paired with our scale, flexibility, and strong regulatory track record.
Making the Right Connections
While pre-scheduled meetings were valuable, some of the most exciting moments came from unexpected connections and spontaneous conversations.
“It’s exciting to know we’re top of mind for customers when new projects come up,” said Julie Branch, Sales Manager at Wiley Process Solutions. That visibility is a testament to the reputation Wiley has built across the industry. Dinners, partner meetings, and on-the-floor networking all contributed to new opportunities and renewed partnerships.
Looking Toward the Future
Chem America didn’t just offer new leads—it strengthened Wiley’s positioning in a shifting marketplace.
“Events like this are about more than just leads,” Watson added. “It’s camaraderie, learning, and being part of the momentum pushing the industry forward.”
We’re grateful for the opportunity to showcase what we do—and more importantly, to listen, learn, and keep innovating alongside our customers and peers. We’ll see you at the next show!
