Statement: Mehmet Tolga Tuncel, Managing Director, Ataman 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.

In recent years, new business models and strategies provided by digitalization have also had to act together with new global economic imbalances. Aggressive policies of expanding geographical borders and trade of world countries are causing more polarization on Earth. Changing technology and the commercial pressure of new powerful warrior and producer countries on Europe and its immediate surroundings are essential factors in this recession.

The slowdown in regional production is causing economic activities to decline, and the decrease in business opportunities manifests as a significant recession in our region. As a chemical distributor company, we aim to spend this period thinking about long-term strategy, spending more time with our customers, and learning more. If we can spend the time we gain with total factor productivity listening to our customers’ demands, we can overcome the recession and competition.
