We are pleased to announce the promotion of David Hixson to Site Head, Quality at Chattem Chemicals in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. David will report to Mr. Shirish Ambulgekar, VP, Head of Quality, API Cluster. David has been with Chattem Chemicals for the past 10 years, most recently in the position of QA Manager. David began his career at Chattem working in the QC laboratory. His talents took him later to Quality Assurance where he was mentored by Mr. Frank Seymour for the past 9 years.

Chattem Chemicals swept the competition at DCAT this year with a signature win in the video competition. As Jerry Seinfeld was the guest speaker that year, the videos centered around reproducing Seinfeld skits. During the video showing at the banquet when there were some technical difficulties, Seinfeld himself asked to see Chattem's video again.

Chattem Chemicals continues to lead the industry in safety rates. In 2020, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, CCI is proud to recognize 15 years without any work-related incident that resulted in someone being unable to work a full shift, being restricted from their normal work duties, or need to be transferred.

According to the United States Department of Labor , more than four million American workers are seriously injured on the job each year. Due to our team-wide dedication to safety, we are proud to say that as of December 2019, CCI employees have worked more than 2,240,000 hours — or 14 years — without experiencing a single lost time accident.
