A world without chemistry?
Unthinkable.

Chemical and pharmaceutical

118 elements and an almost infinite number of products. What comes out of the laboratories of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry – from basic chemistry to finished products – influences nearly every area of life in unique and diverse ways. For innovations to bear fruit, it takes years of intensive research and development and considerable investment.

Topics we’re know inside out: European Health Technology Assessment (EU-HTA), CO2 neutrality, skills shortage, AMNOG, research funding, social partnership, EU chemicals strategy, circular economy, REACH, sustainability, chemistry³.

“Whatever you think of when you think of chemistry is not enough – it's always more. Chemistry is the basis of everything that fascinates me, that inspires me. I find it very meaningful to be able to set the course for the future with the right people.”

— Dr. Marc Stapp

Where the chemistry is right, success grows.

The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is the third largest industrial sector in Germany after the automotive and mechanical engineering industries. For this to remain the case, and for the industry to continue to be successful in withstanding economic fluctuations, structural adjustments and intense competition, companies need planning security, a reliable political framework and a management that implements solutions that are socially, ecologically and economically viable – all with a skilful balance of technical expertise and visionary courage.

Our consulting expertise ranges from research and development to technical operations, marketing and business development, and includes all corporate functions, as a matter of course.
