Europe's second-largest port and the continent's leading petrochemical cluster: Antwerp is the supply chain made tangible. SXE Consulting optimises the chains of every industrial company in the Antwerp area — chemicals, food processing, logistics or any other sector: port-to-plant synchronisation, inventories, S&OP — in English or in French.
The Antwerp paradox: sitting at the heart of Europe's largest chemical logistics hub is no guarantee of a high-performing internal supply chain. Port congestion, regulatory inventories of hazardous materials, dependence on maritime arrivals: industrial firms around the port juggle constraints few others face. A typical assignment: a chemical processor on the right bank significantly reduced its material inventories while securing its supply through an S&OP synchronised with vessel calls and European dual sourcing. We operate across the port, the Antwerp metropolitan area and the Campine — in English or in French.
Vessel calls, demurrage, tank storage, congestion: we synchronise your production flows with the maritime reality of the port.
Regulatory inventories, transport of hazardous materials, Seveso thresholds: our optimisations integrate these constraints from the outset.
