Industry of Southeast Texas… refining progress.
Jobs
The plants you see around SETX aren’t just industrial facilities. They represent 827,000 well-paying jobs. For hardworking Texans, just like you.
Giving Back
You can’t separate the industry that drives our local economy from Southeast Texas itself. And that’s why that same industry has invested $31,000,000, right here at home.
Economic Powerhouse
Industry contributes $174,000,000,000 to the Texas economy. We are all in this together working to make our community a better place to live and raise our families.
Safety
We’re process operators, machinists, electricians, engineers and contractors. But for each of us, safety is job number one.
Clean Fuel
Southeast Texas is where we live, work and raise our families. U.S. refineries have invested $100 billion in cleaner fuel technology. For the generations to come.
Have you seen our billboards or TV spots?
In Southeast Texas, we’re proud to contribute to our national and global economy. We provide more than 26% of the refined products used in our country and transported to global consumers.
The petrochemical industry makes the basic chemical building blocks necessary for modern life. It is hard to imagine a car made of steel or going back to black and white television. Our industry spends time, money and other resources to improve quality of life in our local community… Refining Progress.
Our ongoing campaign is an effort to educate SETX about how the petrochemical industry contributes to the local and state economy. Most of the data used came from American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers. If you would like more information check out afpm.org and empower.AFPM.org.
