Fecc-ICIS Chemical Value Chain Roundtable – Watch the video with fascinating insights from leaders of the chemical sector
On June 16th, the high-level Roundtables — co-organised by Fecc and ICIS — brought together leaders of the chemical sector for two insightful panel discussions.
The chemical value chain roundtable resulted in a wide range of fascinating insights:
- Uncertainty as a basis for continuous improvement opportunities and resilience building.
- Overcapacity in the industry: widespread but unevenly felt (Life sciences are more robust to demand downturns than commodities).
- Potential impacts of the trade war, subsequent uncertainty and constant monitoring of the developments.
- Sustainability and digitalization as drivers of the chemical industry's future.
The value chain roundtable featured:
- Joris Coppye | CEO at Solevo-Group
- Pieter De Graeff | Commercial & Business Development Manager at Noord Natie Odfjell Antwerp Terminal
- Patrick Hore | Global Vertical Head of Chemicals at A.P. Moller at Maersk
- Thomas Ries | Head of Channel Management at Evonik
- Lars Schneider | CEO EMEA at Barentz
