Mergers and acquisitions

Making the right decision is becoming more critical for the success of the company, is it the right time to make an investment or to divest or partner up?

The chemical industry is one of the basic elements of the economy in a fast changing global environment. Economies are growing (again), commodity prices are going up and down and new technologies are introduced. The market landscape is changing as well evidenced by the strong rising of new petrochemical activity in the US, competitors are subject of take overs or mergers, joint ventures are formed and business units are part of divestments in order to become more focused.

Making the right decision is becoming more critical for the success of the company, is it the right time to make an investment or is it better to divest or partner up. These are tough decisions and are paired with large capital elements and organisational changes. Analysis of and preparation for the opportunity is complex and time consuming requiring specialised knowledge of the industry and markets.
