TOPIC: "The Chemical Industry Outlook and the Role of M&A"

With the advent of changing industry fundamentals due to the recent oil price decline and oil recession, combined with slower growth and the upcoming trough in the capital cycle, how will the chemical industry perform over the medium-term.  Shareholder pressures and PE’s appetite for the sector will likely reshape industry structure in terms of share, portfolio composition and impact on industry consolidation. CEO’s around the world cite business growth as a critical challenge they face in today’s economic environment.  How has M&A activity reshaped the industry and what role will it play in the future? Please join us for a lunch meeting featuring guest speaker Joseph Coote, who will discuss the future outlook of the global chemical industry landscape.

 

Speaker: Joseph L. Coote, President, Société de Chimie Industrielle, and Managing Director, Alvarez & Marsal, Inc.
