      Chemicals

      A winning formula for growth, resilience, and innovation

      Our Experience

      1,500+
      global projects completed
      500+
      specialty and performance chemicals consulting projects

      One thing is certain about the recent turbulence in the global chemical industry: it won’t stop anytime soon. To lead, your company needs to be agile and resilient. You need an advisor with experience and resources. Whether you’re contemplating a merger or a digital transformation, or simply want to reduce costs and improve performance, our teams can guide you to a winning strategy.

      For decades, we have shown leading companies how to innovate, adapt, and reach their full potential. In more than 1,500 chemical consulting engagements we’ve applied our expertise across a vast range of market segments. We’ve worked in every major subsector, including petrochemicals, organic and inorganic base chemicals, polymers and plastics, specialty and performance chemicals, agrochemicals, fine chemicals, and industrial biochemicals and biomaterials.

      We’ll ensure that your entire organization is aligned on a tailored, powerful strategy that gets results, today and well into the future. From supply chain to procurement, we’ll help you reimagine your operations in a way that incorporates the latest digital tools, the unique composition of your organization, and the constantly changing nature of the global chemicals business.

      Our multidisciplinary teams help companies shift their asset portfolios, overhaul their cost structures, or prepare a new chemical plant for a successful launch. We understand that offering superior products to your customers is just the beginning; we can help you build the kind of sales capabilities that put the right offers in front of the right customers at the right price and time, in the most effective channels.

      Today’s macroeconomic environment is dynamic. Across sectors, supply and demand in flux, due in part to shifting pressures from customers, governments, and investors. No company can afford to stand still. Industry leaders are rethinking their footprints and operating models, exploring new markets, and taking steps to address highly variable demand.

      Let us show you how you to meet the challenges of the present and seize the brightest future for your company.
