Redesign of Industrial Footprint

Geopolitical instability, energy price surges and supply chain disruptions have forced chemical companies to reassess their business operations and rethink their industrial footprint. 

While it has long been the norm to concentrate production capacity at a small number of sites for global efficiency, this now looks a risky approach.

In Europe in particular, we’ve seen energy, transport, and labor costs all increase, and access to raw materials become restricted – threatening profit margins, service levels and production itself. 

This has compelled companies to reconsider their plant portfolios, with business continuity the primary concern.
