Statement: Arthur Jaunich, CEO, Stockmeier Chemicals

CHEManager asked executives and industry experts from a broad range of chemical distributors to share their views on how their companies are dealing with this changing economic environment and the resulting opportunities and challenges.

The current European economic environment remains challenging, with structural issues—for example, high energy costs, excessive regulation, or scarcity of labor—limiting the competitiveness and growth prospects of many industrial producers. Also, chemical distribution, especially in basic chemicals, is impacted by slowing demand and price erosion. We expect market consolidation to further accelerate in the chemical distribution sector. Still, we at Stockmeier Chemicals, stay optimistic. As a chemical distributor, we support our customers with an efficient, reliable, and safe supply of a broad portfolio of chemicals. We help optimize product sourcing and logistics, provide support related to regulation and sustainability, and offer individual toll manufacturing solutions. At Stockmeier Chemicals we keep investing in our offering of value-added services to best support our customers in building their competitive edge. And we will continue to expand, also M&A driven, to provide both our customers as well as principals with even broader coverage.
