Chemicals and Plastics Practice

Chemicals & Plastics companies are operating in a dynamic global environment, facing the combined challenges of new competitors, more stringent environmental requirements and escalating raw material costs. These pressures, compounded by mature, cyclical and commodity driven markets, are forcing companies to look for new approaches and superior methods of differentiation in order to prevent them competing solely on price and to give them increased competitive advantages. The key initiatives the intelligence is required to support are: product/service design; organizational and productivity efficiency; the meeting of customer needs; highlighting future revenue generating opportunities.
