The Chemistry Council of New Jersey (CCNJ), formerly known as the Chemical Industry Council of New Jersey, was founded in 1955 by a small group of chemical industry executives with a goal to promote an academic interest in Chemistry. Over the years, the CCNJ has expanded its scope and become one of the leading state trade associations in the country. The CCNJ serves as the advocate and voice for the business of chemistry and its member companies.
