Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals
Innovation, Digitalization, and Sustainability as Responses to Global Challenges.
Actually, it's a comfortable situation: Demographic changes and medical advances are continuously increasing the demand for new drugs and therapies. Despite this, the long-successful industry is increasingly under pressure.
Declining margins, expiring patents, and dependency on a few raw material suppliers are just some of the challenges currently facing mid-sized players in the industry. To secure their gross profit, many companies have relocated their production abroad. Others are opting for the opposite strategy of onshoring. But even then, securing earnings is crucial. This requires reliable supply chains, efficient processes, and stable logistics.
No matter where you start from:
We help you become simply better.
