What to expect?

The study discusses how logistics excellence combined with innovative technologies is becoming an important sales pitch in the chemical industry – rather than just a supporting or supplementary function. In the future, chemical companies will no longer compete solely on product specifications or prices. Instead, supply chain competencies and resilience will become a key value proposition, creating the potential for a true competitive edge. Innovations such as AI and digital twins further enhance this opportunity.

The study highlights current challenges of the chemical industry and its supply chains, presents future-oriented services, and evaluates their suitability based on industry needs. Practical recommendations on how chemical companies can use products and services in combination as a sales pitch conclude the study.

The session will open with Dorothee Arns, Director General at European Association of Chemical Distributors (Fecc), who will share valuable insights into the European chemical industry with a focus on distributors.

The event will be held in English language. 

Alternatively, the study will be presented in German language on March 4, 2026, 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM CET. The registration is available here.

Take this opportunity to connect with industry experts and gain valuable insights for your business.
