Eastman Chemical Company is a large and world famous manufacturer of chemicals, fibers and plastic. Headquartered in Kingsport, Tennessee, Eastman is a Fortune 500 company with annual sales of 7 billion dollars and 11,000 employees. With a past deep involved in the WWII war effort, the company has much more peaceful and without doubt more profitable ventures nowadays. The company itself became independent and was split apart from the even more famous Eastman Kodak company in 1994 and has been publicly traded on the stock exchange since 1997.
