The customer manufactures fibers and hot-melt adhesives. These polymers are intermediate products, which are further developed into highly specialized products for use in innovative and technically demanding applications.

Challenges
The chemical market is very competitive. Many new chemical products are quickly imitated, rapidly losing their unique market value and profitability. Time after time, competition drives down margins. As a result, innovation is critical for success. In addition, many chemical operations face high variability in raw material inventory, forcing quick formula adaptations to maintain production quality within specifications. Finally, as end users and customers return performance details, customers require closer and closer collaboration with chemical operations to constantly improve products. In such a scenario, the enterprises are always looking into ways and means to improve profitability and enhance efficiency.
