Chemicals
Expertise for an industry in transition
As chemical substances are required for the manufacture of almost all products, the chemical industry is an essential part of global value chains. Our world will continue to be increasingly shaped by chemical products in the future. This is because progress in future fields such as the circular economy, electromobility and sustainable energy supply is largely based on innovative chemical solutions.
At the same time, the chemical industry is particularly affected by social, political and economic challenges: geopolitical crises, wildly fluctuating energy prices and supply bottlenecks clash with the imperative of comprehensive sustainability and an intensifying demographic trend. The impact is particularly strong in Europe. In order to secure competitiveness and strengthen the industrial location, it is necessary to put processes and business models to the test. In this challenging environment, ROI-EFESO is your experienced and innovative implementation partner. We combine strategy, process and technology expertise with a deep understanding of the chemical industry. Take advantage of this know-how to successfully guide your company through change and position it optimally for the future.

CASE STUDIES - PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
Lean Digital Manager
Shaping the factory of the future with Lean 4.0. How can lean principles be combined with the technologies and possibilities of networked digitization in value creation networks? By further qualifying employees to become decision-makers. The ROI-EFESO certification program for "Lean Digital Manager" shows how digitalization of lean production works. To do this, it combines strategies with Industry 4.0 technologies.
Smart Factory Planning: Smart Planning for smart Factories
What does the ideal factory of the future look like? Do products there control their production completely independently? A pharmaceuticals and life sciences company plans the main directions for the smart factory transformation of four plants in just one month. Together with ROI-EFESO, the project team creates a "big picture" as a basis for planning and tests three prioritized technologies in pilot projects.
Business Operations Strategy: Re-start for production networks
A market leader strengthens its Global Footprint structures. With a turnover of around EUR 10 billion, the company is one of the market leaders in the life science and chemicals sector. After a long period of successful global growth, developments such as tougher competition and shifts in demand between regions are jeopardizing the achievement of the ROCE (return on capital employed) targets.
Manufacturing Excellence: Optimizing instead of improvising
The global demand for thermosets is increasing, as is the case in the energy industry. A manufacturer of thermosetting resins has positioned itself as a leader in the chemical industry by providing these customers with a variety of innovative technologies, solutions and specialty products. In order to be able to react even more efficiently to market changes and customer requirements in the future, the company is realigning its production network.
OPEX: Redesign of the organization
The demand for high-performance plastics is increasing worldwide. A company in the chemical industry wants to increase the total capacity of its polymer production by more than 50% with a new plant complex. Together with ROI-EFESO, it is aligning its organizational structure to growth and profitability and is realizing an annually recurring benefit of more than EUR 1.5 million through process improvements.
Chemical company on the way to climate neutrality
In order to achieve the self-imposed goal of being climate-neutral by 2050, a manufacturer of basic chemicals has to put its entire business model to the test.
