Dickson, TN — Zochem announced their support from the Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Butch Eley. As one of the largest producers of French process zinc oxide in North America, Zochem’s zinc oxide is a critical component in a multitude of critical applications from tires and rubber to pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, alternative batteries, and many more.

“As road safety remains a top priority for TDOT, we recognize the important role of the zinc industry in producing high-quality, safe tires,” said TDOT Commissioner Butch Eley. “Tires made with French Process zinc oxide offer enhanced durability and improved rolling resistance, ensuring safer travels for Tennesseans. We are proud Zochem calls Tennessee home, and are excited to explore ways in which Tennessee’s own zinc oxide products can contribute to better road safety outcomes across the state.”

Our success is a direct reflection of our dedicated, hard-working team as well as the prosperous economic environment created by leaders in this state.
