Chemical M&A 2013:
Innovation & Consolidation
Luncheon/Webcast of Nov 7, 2013
11:00 am to noon - Networking
noon to 1:00 pm - Luncheon
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm - Presentation
Abstract
• What is the outlook for chemicals M&A activity?
• What are the key strategic drivers of deal flow?
• How do both innovation and consolidation factor into the success of a transaction?
• Is one more important than the other, and to what degree can both be simultaneous drivers of a deal?
The chemical industry has experienced, and will continue to experience, a robust M&A market. Innovation and consolidation are the two key strategic drivers of deal activity, particularly now, when market dynamics favor either scale or a high service model (think Wal-Mart for scale and Tiffany’s in terms of service). Consolidation driven deals, where cost reductions through plant closures, elimination of duplicate overhead, raw material purchasing power, and capitalizing on global brands and supply chains are easier to quantify and easier to defend in a boardroom. However, innovation driven deals - new products and technologies, or new ways to think about old markets - are often the ones that have attractive long term risk/reward profiles, despite some upfront anxiety on valuation. To help you navigate the 2014 M&A market and demystify innovation valuation, join us on November 7 and hear compelling insights from John Beagle one of the thought leaders in Chemicals M&A.
