The European chemical sector faces mounting challenges: high energy costs, global overcapacity, and tightening regulations have eroded competitiveness and investor confidence. With weak demand, declining production, and no rebound expected before 2026, recovery hinges on bold management action—not external momentum.
At Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), we understand that portfolio transformation is no longer just an operational necessity—it’s a critical narrative imperative. Boards and management teams must take value-driven actions to rebuild performance, restore discipline, and regain investor trust.
That’s why we’ve developed the FIX–SELL–CLOSE framework: a structured, execution-focused approach to create tangible economic value while crafting a credible equity story that resonates with investors.
- Fix what can compete.
- Sell what creates more value elsewhere.
- Close what cannot sustain itself.
Explore how our FIX–SELL–CLOSE framework can transform challenges into opportunities and position your business for sustainable success.
