Chemical Parks & Industrial Services
Chemical Parks and Pharma Parks enable greater efficiency and resilience for sites with several tenants on the same site. We have helped to establish and develop a number of parks and their service products. We are happy to share this experience.
- examples
-
- Three pharmaceutical sites were transferred to a park structure with an adapted organization, including the development of service products and suitable pricing models.
- An inefficient contractual interdependence that had developed in a medium-sized chemical park was equalized in such a way that incentives for joint efficiency gains were created.
- Three large chemical sites were evaluated in an M&A process and plans were drawn up for their systematic transformation into chemical parks. This included organization, product development and pricing models.
- Three large traditional plants were transformed into a chemical park. The park attracted more and more investment over a decade, exceeding all expectations, and became the most successful park in Europe.
