ChemQuest Partnership Expands Strategic Support for APAC Specialty Chemicals Market

The ChemQuest Group has entered into a strategic partnership with PCI&KM, an industrial platform serving China’s coatings, inks, and adhesives sector, in a move aimed at expanding support for specialty chemicals companies across the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the companies, the partnership combines ChemQuest’s global consulting, database, and M&A capabilities with PCI&KM’s local industry network and market access in China. The collaboration is intended to address challenges facing APAC specialty chemicals companies as they respond to supply chain shifts, technology transitions, and sustainability-related market changes.

Founded in 2013, PCI&KM serves more than 120,000 industry professionals and has evolved from a media outlet into a broader industrial ecosystem platform. The companies stated that the new partnership is designed to help enterprises move beyond locally focused operations and strengthen their access to global strategic resources.

According to ChemQuest and PCI&KM, the partnership will focus on four areas: globalization strategy and market entry support, M&A and capital strategy, operational excellence and smart manufacturing, and technology commercialization and innovation acceleration.

Liu Minghui, Publisher of PCI&KM, said the collaboration is intended to provide clients with more than industry information by adding broader strategic support for international competition and long-term development.

Daniel Murad, CEO of ChemQuest, said the APAC region remains an important growth area for specialty chemicals and noted that the partnership is intended to apply ChemQuest’s global experience to local market needs.

The companies stated that the collaboration is aimed at supporting higher-value industrial services and broader strategic development for specialty chemicals businesses across the region.
