The company envisioned the need to choose sustainable sources of energy for their market development and needed to reduce fossil fuels in their production processes.
Methanol is often used as an industrial solvent in many different sectors, including the production of inks, resins, adhesives, and colors in the paint industry. To produce a range of goods including plastics, plywood, paints, explosives, and different press fabrics, methanol must first be transformed into formaldehyde. Methanol has a wide range of industrial uses as an intermediary, solvent, or indirect raw material, including colors, biodiesel, explosives, and medications (derivative). The uses of methanol are not restricted to certain sectors as it can be transformed into a variety of compounds, including formaldehyde dimethyl ether, and others. Methanol is added to gasoline as an additive to provide the resulting combination of high-octane ratings with fewer emissions than regular gasoline. Most of the methanol produced is from natural gas which is a fossil fuel.
Our clients had about 9% less expenditure on research and development compared to rivals in the sector, which were growing quickly. The number of raw materials on hand was also insufficient owing to the increased demand. The geographical growth was constrained by the supply chain's fragility. The decrease in production led to a more than 5% decrease in revenue. Lack of diversification in business segments was the main reason behind the reduction in 10% sales in the past few years. Furthermore, our client desired to develop sustainable products and focus on core business.
