How Will Chemical & Petrochemical Companies be Dealing with Economic downturn and Emerging Markets

Jan. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- LogiChem 2012, the 11th Annual Chemical Supply Chain & Global Logistics Conference provides the means to allow companies, facing the struggle of dealing with economic issues and the onset of emerging markets, to discuss new top line strategies and listen to case studies from the top chemical manufacturers, 3PL ’s and global logistics operators on how to deal with these issues.

Other issues being discussed will be how the increase on the price of fuel will lead many Chemical Companies struggling to maintain a hold over the supply chain.

Steven Craig, Conference Producer for LogiChem said:

“For the chemical supply chain increasing fuel tax will have a serious knock-on effect in volatile times for both manufacturer and 3PL, with a sharp cost increase providing little short-term gain, and major long-term economic damage. It further highlights the need for robust and proactive solutions in volatile times – at LogiChem 2012 global heads and European SC Directors will be debating and delivering these solutions.”
