At the close of its 2006-7 fiscal year, Elemica reports that its annual EBITDA
was once again clearly in the black, showing a more than 100% gain over the previous 12
months. “With $50 billion of annual transaction value and profitable operations,” said CEO Mike
McGuigan, “Elemica is well-positioned to keep growing – adding new clients, building our
network, expanding our scope of services and increasing the value we deliver to our clients.”
Customer satisfaction, already strong, is also growing, judging from comments of major Elemica
partners Air Products, BASF, Dow Chemical, Lanxess, Rohm & Haas and Shell Chemicals.
"Air Products has benefited from using several Elemica applications across its businesses and
operating regions", said Art Anderson, General Manager of E-Business and Customer
Engagement Process at Air Products. "We are looking forward to using some of the new products
being developed at Elemica to drive even higher productivity in the future.” “Elemica is a key
contributor to BASF’s plans for global growth, not just in Europe and North America, but
especially in Asia as well,” said Andrew Pike, Chief Information Officer of BASF and Chairman of
Elemica.
“Dow is utilizing Elemica all over the world to help us get closer to our customers and provide
them with ever better and more reliable service and logistics,” echoed Darrell Zavitz, Senior
Director of Customer Service and International Trade at The Dow Chemical Company. “Elemica
is an important part of how we are making good on our commitment to leveraging innovative
technology and work process systems to generate value for Dow, our customers and our
suppliers by enhancing productivity and increasing the ease of doing business.” “At Lanxess, our
most important goals in e-business are to cut costs of sales and logistics,“ said Hans-Peter
Biermann of Logistics & Supply Chain at Lanxess. “Elemica is a key part of this, and we are
planning to implement Elemica in both invoicing and logistics.”
“Elemica plays a central role in Rohm & Haas’s logistics with customers and suppliers,” said Neil
Carr, Director of Procurement & Logistics at Rohm & Haas. “Elemica has proven itself, technically
and commercially, and we are working with them in a range of areas, too: sales, inventory
management, procurement and even warehousing.” At Shell Chemicals, reports GM Customer
Centres and Regional Operations Eddie Day, “Elemica’s ‘Translink’ solution is delivering visibility
in logistics, ‘Connected Solution’ is managing customer orders, and will soon be used in invoicing
while the ‘Elemica Supply Chain Solution’ is already in use to deliver our vendor managed
inventory program.”
And more success is on the way, says Elemica CEO McGuigan. “This past year has shown
further excellent progress in our business with significant growth and outstanding client support.
We are continuing to grow this coming year, and intend to extend our offerings to reach the entire
chemical industry.”
