Important potential

Logistics and supply chain management is of particular concern for the chemical industry for two key reasons. Firstly because the intrinsic hazards of transportation and storage and secondly because of the critically low margins the industry is currently experiencing. If the supply chain is optimised, cost of production can be reduced.
Africa’s changing chemistry
With globalisation, chemical companies are expanding their operations beyond traditional markets. Increasingly, they are locating their production facilities in emerging markets where demands are growing and production costs are low. In a bid to reduce cost further, they are also sourcing for the cheapest ingredients from different suppliers situated in different parts of the world.
This does however further complicate the already complicated supply chain - not just for the chemical industry but for the industries that rely on chemicals for their own production such as the pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, water treatment, food, plastics, personal beauty care to name but a few.
As such, it becomes clear African and global chemical manufactures and suppliers need to address critical logistics and supply chain management issues if they wish to cut costs and globalise their operations successfully. Finally, a conference that presents a strategic and practical dimension to these essential topics.
Chemical Logistics & SCM Africa 2004 is where manufacturers, suppliers, clients and vendors meet and discuss supply chain management and collaboration for the chemical industry.
