LOGICHEM 2010 EVENT REVIEW: 20 - 22 April, Hilton Dusseldorf, Germany:

LogiChem has firmly established itself at the centre of the international chemical supply chain community. This year’s conference proved that it was more important than ever for international chemical logistics and supply chain directors to come together, learn from each other and develop long-term strategies to overcome the current challenges faced by the market. This year’s theme was on how to maximise supply chain efficiency and effectiveness while preparing supply chains for economic improvement.

Over three content-packed days, over 40 supply chain directors from the world’s largest chemical companies delivered high-level case-studies on how they are driving supply chain performance. Companies featured on this year’s conference programme included BASF, Dow, DuPont, Celanese, Akzo Nobel, DSM and Clariant. Attendance was from over 250 supply chain directors from all of the top 75 chemical companies.

LogiChem opened with an intensive pre-conference focus day on demand planning. Through high-level presentations and interactive sessions, delegates learned how to sharpen demand planning techniques, optimise performance and lower crucial supply chain costs.

The main conference’s speaker faculty was more senior than ever before. In an exclusive keynote presentation on day one, Pierre Minguet, Business Director – Polystyrenes for Ineos Nova revealed how supply chain objectives can be aligned with corporate goals to drive commercial growth.

In another high-level keynote, Niklas Meintrup, Director Supply Chain and Business Services, Dow Europe explored how to establish a cross-functional client-centric portfolio of services for multiple business models. READ THE FULL REVIEW ON LOGICHEM 2010.
