Kline is the top management consulting firm serving the Chemicals and Materials industry worldwide. For nearly 50 years, our understanding of these businesses and the value chains in which they participate has allowed us to provide our clients with effective and pragmatic solutions that are based solidly upon the realities of the marketplace. Today, the chemicals and materials industries (allied and advanced) together form an increasingly important area for global value creation, especially in the developing/newly developed regions.
Our clients are among the leaders in specialty and fine chemicals, electronic chemicals and materials, plastics, polymers’ packaging, and petrochemicals. Many of these products are further processed to create cosmetics and toiletries, building and construction products, packaging materials, microelectronic devices, paints, coatings and adhesives, and a host of other downstream products. This further validates the importance of understanding the entire value chain and the interrelationships between the tiers in order to develop and implement effective strategies.
We have long supported our clients with market analyses, competitor and technology assessments, and M&A support. In direct response to client demands, we have made substantial investments in further expanding our geographic presence and portfolio of services to maintain our leadership in the dynamic global chemical and materials industry. In an industry where profits across the value chain are increasingly squeezed by escalating energy, raw material costs and where future industry growth is driven by developing regions, our presence and knowledge – spanning markets, products, applications and countries – ensures an authoritative perspective. We think globally and act locally to support our clients in developing strategies and business models that are successful within their chosen value chain.
