Respond to market requirements more flexibly and economically.The environment in today‘s chemical industry is changing more dynamically than in the past decades:• Companies have to hold their ground in global

competition, open up new sales channels, utilize the digital transformation for their own purpose, and fulfill more and more legal requirements.

• Fluctuating raw material prices, demands shifting to new markets, expensive research and development, complex process engineering and large varieties of products call for more flexibility and profitability.
