Molecules, margins and the circular economy.

195 Global Consulting
Overview

Molecules, margins and the circular economy.

We support chemical, metals and materials companies through cycle volatility, portfolio reshaping and the shift to low-carbon processes and circular value chains.

After a turbulent cycle, chemical companies face overcapacity in some segments, pressure to decarbonise energy-intensive processes and customers asking for circular, lower-carbon products. Portfolio clarity and commercial discipline have never mattered more.

Our chemicals & materials team brings together sector specialists, data scientists and implementation experts, working as one team with clients from the boardroom to the front line.

Questions we help answer
  1. 01Which businesses should we grow, fix or exit over the next five years?
  2. 02How do we price and win with low-carbon and recycled products?
  3. 03What does a credible, funded decarbonisation pathway look like for our sites?
How we help clients

6 areas where our industry teams bring deep expertise, proven methods and hands-on support.

We help boards decide where to play across specialties, commodities and new materials. Recommendations are backed by deep analysis of market attractiveness and competitive position.

We strengthen pricing, key-account management and sales effectiveness so margins hold through the cycle. Teams gain tools to price for value rather than volume.

We raise reliability, yield and energy efficiency across plants. Maintenance, turnaround planning and process control are improved together.

We build abatement roadmaps, assess low-carbon technologies and design recycling and bio-based businesses. Sustainability becomes a source of growth as well as compliance.

We support acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs and joint ventures from strategy to integration. Transactions are designed to sharpen the portfolio and create value quickly.

We apply advanced analytics to pricing, production scheduling and R&D. Data becomes a practical lever for margin and innovation.
