| Founded in 1990, the Louisiana Chemical Industry Alliance (LCIA) is a joint venture between plants and suppliers, representing 750 members with more than 50,000 employees from Louisiana's petrochemical industry and related businesses. LCIA represents the interests of its members before legislative and regulatory bodies and promotes a positive public image for the industry as a whole.
As one of the state's largest taxpayers, Louisiana's chemical industry contributes and generates nearly $1 billion each year in tax revenues for Louisiana.
The Louisiana chemical industry directly employs over 30,000 citizens, paying salaries that total over $1.7 billion per year.
The average salary in the Louisiana chemical industry is roughly $55,000, 64% higher than the state average. The Louisiana chemical industry also provides income for about 240,000 Louisiana citizens.
In all, LCIA is a united voice of industrial plants and small business owners who are the “hometown” friends, voters, agents and suppliers working to make a living in the chemical/refining marketplace. The strength of the partnership means progress and survival for an industry providing jobs and maintaining a healthy, safe and high-quality life in Louisiana.
