Speciality Chemicals

The global chemical industry touches every facet of our life, by turning raw materials into products we use day in and day out. Over the last few years, the world has condemned the industry’s effect on the environment, however today, companies are adapting to the global environmental challenges associated with their own industry. This has brought on significant change to the way things operate and the materials they use. Companies are listening to consumer feedback and looking at new ways of taking something old and transforming it into something new, rather than taking something new or ‘virgin’ and turning it into something newer.

Sectors within the chemical industry include oil and gas, construction, electronics, medical, consumer care, F&B and general industrial. The history of chemicals originates from North America, Western Europe and Japan. However the global chemical industry is shifting towards the Middle East and Asia, with the main focus in these regions on the growth of construction and electronic chemicals. Our Industrial Chemical team encompasses multiple market segments including Speciality Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Coatings, Adhesives, Lubricants, Inks and Plastics.

There is a huge gap in the market for innovation in all the above sectors but there is also a need and demand to keep producing the products we use in our everyday lives.
