Chemicals

The world is changing – so, international relations and the view of individual countries are changing as well. In view of current global political developments, many companies are reviewing their cooperation with long-standing partners. It can already be observed that chemical companies are rethinking their investment decisions and becoming more cautious in the development of their global locations. We support you in optimally positioning your company for these new times - for example, by consolidating or further developing the global footprint that has grown through acquisitions.

Energy costs often account for more than 20% of total production costs in the chemical industry. Due to the massive increase in energy prices, the pressure on margins is currently correspondingly high - to the point of making production uneconomical. At the same time, regulatory requirements for resource efficiency and energy savings are increasing. We support you in the development of your strategic sustainability roadmap and in the implementation of concrete and noticeable energy efficiency measures with which you can sustainably reduce your consumption.

Chemical companies are particularly sensitive to disruptions in the supply chain. A lack of raw materials or bottlenecks in basic materials such as ammonia, butyl or caprolactam can force manufacturers to cut back or even stop production. Chemical precursors and intermediates, which were previously available at all times, become a limiting factor. We help you to make your supply chain more resilient - from the optimization of critical processes and the elimination of weak points to the creation of comprehensive transparency, e.g. with regard to transport and logistics, through targeted digital solutions.

The long-term trend toward a circular and sustainable economy offers great opportunities for the chemical industry as it develops many of the innovations it needs. At the same time, companies must fight to reduce their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from the outset. Given energy and CO2 prices, this is not only an environmental necessity, but also an economic one. We support you in developing your strategic sustainability roadmap and in coordinating the measures, e.g. in R&D and engineering, so that they make an optimal contribution to your decarbonization goals.

As baby boomers retire from the workforce in the next two to five years, many employees will leave with their experience and knowledge. At the same time, despite competitive salaries, it will become more difficult to attract and retain talent. This applies, for example, to production, where shift models are sometimes no longer attractive to skilled workers, but also to engineers, who prefer other environments to a career in the chemical industry. It is therefore essential to find solutions to protect companies from demographic risks - e.g. by automating repetitive work processes and making them independent of personnel - while at the same time securing access to talent in the long term. We support you in developing practical solutions for automation and digitization and in aligning your company with the labor market of the future.

Continuously increasing the efficiency of processes and organizational structures will remain a high priority in the future, especially in areas such as production and maintenance as well as engineering and R&D&I. Digitization must be driven forward and topics such as end-to-end data integration and transparency in the value network and artificial intelligence must be pursued. Platforms for sharing best practices and leveraging synergies play a crucial role in this. That is why the structure and processes in the organization must be aligned with this. We support you in achieving measurable improvements in key functions and anchoring continuous improvement in your company - in processes, in performance management, in the organizational structure and in the motivation of your employees.
