gChem has achieved Highly Protected Risk (HPR) status from FM, a prestigious designation recognizing exceptional standards in risk prevention, engineering discipline, and operational resiliency. For an industrial and specialty chemical manufacturer, HPR status is a meaningful validation of proactive loss prevention practices that protect people, assets, and uninterrupted production—especially critical in high‑consequence manufacturing environments.

The HPR designation reflects gChem’s close collaboration with FM’s engineering teams to identify and mitigate operational risks before losses occur. By rapidly implementing improvements focused on fire protection, infrastructure integrity, and equipment reliability, gChem reinforced a prevention‑first culture aligned with best‑in‑class chemical manufacturing standards. Achieving this recognition underscores strong leadership commitment and continuous investment in operational excellence.

As the only producer of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the Western Hemisphere, gChem plays a vital role in supplying essential applications across agriculture, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. FM Global’s HPR recognition further strengthens confidence in gChem’s ability to deliver safe, reliable, and uninterrupted specialty chemical supply in an increasingly volatile global environment.
