Dow Chemical Plant Midland, Michigan. The Dow Chemical complex consists of forty independent plants, each with its own production facility, quality control analysis lab, and warehouse, joined by a network of insulated overhead pipes that carry steam, water, and raw materials to each plant. Visitors who make tour reservations are driven through this interesting complex in a van or bus for an up-close view of operations. Call early, availability limited, especially for spring and summer tours.
