Production management

The continuity and performance of production lines are at the heart of competitiveness for players in the chemical sector. Our interim managers secure industrial operations during critical moments.

  • Maintaining the continuity and performance of production lines in the event of a leadership vacancy.
  • Optimising industrial yields and production costs for complex chemical processes.
  • Managing the startup or ramp-up of new production units.

Securing and managing industrial risks

Chemical sites, often classified as Seveso or ICPE, require rigorous control of industrial and regulatory risks. Our managers intervene within 72 hours to secure your operations.

  • Strengthening safety protocols and industrial risk prevention at Seveso and ICPE sites.
  • Crisis management following an industrial incident or critical malfunction.
  • Ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations (REACH, ICPE, decarbonization).

Managing site closures

Closing or divesting a chemical site involves significant operational, social, and regulatory challenges. Our interim managers lead these sensitive projects from start to finish.

  • Operational and social management for the closure or divestment of an industrial site.
  • Stakeholder management: authorities, employee representatives, and local residents.
  • Ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance for site decommissioning (decontamination, site safety).
