Chemical
Marsh provides risk management services and cutting-edge risk solutions for organisations involved in the production, importation and use of chemicals. Organisations that benefit from our expertise include specialty chemical companies, fine and intermediate chemical companies, petrochemical companies as well as industries where the use of chemicals form a significant part of their business activities.

Chemicals

Over the past decade, the chemical industry has undergone a period of major change. The need for product innovation and market leadership has increased. The tremendous expansion in emerging countries, high cost volatility of feedstock, ongoing portfolio restructuring, and constant pressure from regulators were, and remain, some of the driving forces affecting the industry. Strategies and business models have changed, as has the risk landscape of many chemical companies.
