Russian private company with revenue over $500 million per year
Client
Preparatory stage
Development of the project implementation strategy
  • Formation of a business idea
  • Assessment of cost effectiveness
Chemical Leaders specialists analyzed the salt market and identified promising areas for the use of salt, taking into account the introduction of innovative technologies in water treatment, utilities, and the food industry. They identified the basic requirements for the quality indicators of the product and selected the process equipment to meet these requirements. A strategy was developed for a phased entry into the salt market and a target sales plan was formed. The team conducted a feasibility study for the project, developed a business plan, and finalized the performance metrics.
From 2015 to 2016
the Chemical Leaders team began to develop a project to create a highly refined salt production facility, which is a universal product in various industries. The product is used in water treatment, housing and communal services, the energy sector, and the food industry. The start of development was facilitated by an active change in the market situation on the domestic salt market in Russia
