On the path towards Chemical Distribution 4.0

In today’s competitive global market, distributors face not only growing compliance demands but also aim to increase the added value to their partners in the supply chain.

As the voice of chemical distributors in Brussels, the European Association of Chemical Distributors (Fecc) is committed not only to raise awareness among its members on the emerging European regulatory issues, but also to analyse the emerging business trends which could impact the chemical distribution sector.

In this context, Fecc is supporting its members’ endeavours in the next phase of the Chemical Distribution 4.0, in which digitalisation, corporate social responsibility, circular economy and sustainability are key pillars for corporate growth and competitiveness.

Digitalisation of the chemical supply chain remains both a challenge and a possibility for the sector. Building on the success of last year Congress, focused on digitalisation, Fecc is establishing itself as a permanent platform to exchange experiences of the Chemical Distribution companies in the digital world and explore its potential.

For chemical distributors the transition to circular economy holds promise and represents also an opportunity to generate innovative business models, like the chemical leasing, to minimise the use of chemicals and their emissions.

The Fecc Annual Congress 2018 (Nice 4-6 June) will provide inspiration to those considering how to boost their relations with the suppliers and customers in order to successfully face these challenges.  The upcoming event will explore the current market demands and the expectations both of the suppliers and the customers, as well as the role that chemical distributors play.
