TULSA, Okla. — Brainerd Chemical Company announced that its Chief Commercial Officer, Jason Jacobus, has been named a 2025 Expert of the Year by the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD), a national organization representing the chemical distribution industry.
The ACD Recognition Highlights Industry Leadership, Stewardship, and Service in Chemical Distribution
What does the ACD Expert of the Year award represent? The recognition highlights leaders who strengthen the chemical distribution industry through advocacy, mentorship, collaboration, and service to the broader industry community.
“ACD and the people within this industry have added tremendous value to my life, career, and business,” said Jacobus. “I am a product of the time, knowledge, and expertise others have invested in me throughout my career. Because of that, I feel a deep responsibility to give back and invest in others, especially the next generation entering this industry. The willingness of people within this industry to support and invest in one another is part of what makes it so special.”
Jacobus brings leadership experience across hazardous and specialty chemical markets. Throughout his career, he has remained actively involved in supporting industry advancement through advocacy, mentoring, collaboration, and relationship-building.
That mindset continues to shape the Brainerd’s broader approach to leadership and service. The company emphasizes long-term relationships, responsible growth, investment in people, and active participation in supporting the future of the chemical distribution industry.
“Jason’s leadership reflects the type of stewardship and industry engagement that has long been important to our organization,” said Matt Brainerd. “We believe strong industries are built by people who are willing to invest in others, share their experience, and intentionally help develop the next generation of leaders.”
At Brainerd Chemical, that philosophy extends beyond day-to-day operations and into the company’s broader view of leadership within the chemical distribution industry. The company emphasizes long-term thinking, operational responsibility, investment in people, and active participation in supporting the future of the industry.
