Core Industries

Overcapacity
Chemicals	Construction and Building Materials	Manufacturing	Forestry and Paper	Steel and Other Metals
Both the chemical and steel industries are plagued with overcapacity. The price of steel has fallen consistently for the past 25 years without a corresponding decrease in cost, placing severe pressure on margins. Boundaries are being blurred for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and bio-tech, making it increasingly difficult to identify areas to exploit.

Leading thought confirms the need for the steel industry to take drastic action to cut global capacity by 15-20% by creating joint ventures which seek to consolidate production and reduce supply. The need to meet environmental improvements will also have a significant impact.

Classic chemical portfolio management appears to be making significant inroads in delivering shareholder value, whether it’s in commodities, speciality chemicals or a diversified mix. Leading players are starting to combine innovation in supply chain management, business processing re-engineering, with customer insights to identify new markets and communicate more effectively their products and propositions.

The construction industry has been significantly affected by the consolidation of the contracting market and has experienced takeovers in both its contracting and materials/products sectors. Employing over 2 million people in the UK, the industry is extremely diverse composed of contractors, consultants and building materials and product producers. Our consultants have delivered significant cost reduction programmes, employing lean manufacturing methodologies and can offer support in delivering the best of breed techniques and practices, both at home and abroad, leveraging our worldwide reputation in technical competence.
