"We are honored to be a Silver level winner in the Company of the Year - Chemicals category of the American Business Awards, and recognized among some of the nation's top companies," said Jim Rogers, Chairman and CEO.

Eastman was one of a very few companies honorarily nominated for the award based on the company's achievements since the beginning of 2011, drawn from publicly available information.
