Why you need us
We can improve your profits by helping to cut your manufacturing costs.

Process innovation is in desperately short supply in the industries within which we work. That makes it easier for companies who use our expertise to get ahead of their competitors and increase margins.

We solve problems. If your regular process provider lets you down or cannot meet your expectations, turn to us.

In addition, downward cost pressures are particularly intense for our client industries:

  • In the price-sensitive agrochemical industry where sales depend critically on the cost of manufacturing active ingredients, we can help.
  • For pharmaceutical companies, developing and manufacturing new or existing active ingredients, we can deliver solutions to problems.
  • For companies trying to keep pace with the ever-increasing speed of change in the global fine chemical industry, we can help.

There is a further compelling need to reduce costs. Companies cannot rely indefinitely on being 'saved' by the low labour costs in Asia to run established but inefficient processes. By developing improved processes and transfering them to low-cost production sites, DCL can help you benefit from the spare capacity in China and India.

Process improvement is the solution.

 
Development Chemicals finds ways to slash process costs through:

Developing new processes:
we look at established products as well as novel targets

Devising more efficient processes:
collaboration between our chemists and engineers generates ingenious solutions.

Eliminating waste:
use of catalysts can lead to a reduction in waste products generated.

Faster reactions:
we consider alternative reactive reagents, equipment design (continuous flow reactors), etc.
