Prozessindustrie
Planning certainty is a thing of the past
Even though the sectors within the process industry could hardly be more different, they share one common challenge: declining planning reliability is forcing companies to exercise increasing caution when investing in growth and capital-intensive facilities.
At LogistikPlan, we closely monitor the industry requirements and market developments of our clients in order to draw the right conclusions for strategy, growth, and optimization.
► Chemicals
Germany’s chemical industry has established itself as a long-standing world export champion, yet its economic outlook remains rather cautious. High electricity prices, a lack of planning reliability (energy policy), and neglected infrastructure are driving increasing investment abroad, where lower labor, energy, and raw material costs support market growth.
► Food products
Comparable concerns also affect our clients in the food industry. Due to uncertain prices for agricultural raw materials and energy, cautious corporate planning is advisable. When expanding production and storage capacities, companies are proceeding with a short-term, cautious outlook.
► Paper and printing
A rather pessimistic situation characterizes paper manufacturers and printing companies: some of our clients have been supported by us for many years in optimization, rationalization, and restructuring.
► Plastics
Plastics manufacturers appear to be slightly ahead. This indispensable material for industry and consumer goods is leading to moderately increasing production and investment.
The plastics industry benefits from intact value chains located close to downstream industries – a clear advantage for logistics.
As logistics consultants and factory planners, we support companies in the process industry
- with site studies and long-term development concepts, for example for the allocation and expansion of production and logistics capacities
- with medium-term initiatives for modernization and automation, and
- in the short-term horizon through structural and process-related optimizations.
