  • "Instead of only wanting to visit our facilities, they want the reverse. They focus on what we need," [Gary Miller] explained. "It's important for suppliers to know what we do and have knowledge of our company. They understand where they can add value. Regular suppliers listen, but they don't hear." He introduced the concept of a "glocal" provider: a supplier that operates globally, but understands and meets the challenges and requirements of local markets. Strategic suppliers will also be continuous innovators, with no end in sight, Miller said. "Performance coatings and plastics are in a race with no finish line." "We're at an inflection point. Not just us, but everyone [from feedstock to pigments]," Chemour's global sales and functional marketing leader, Peter O'Sullivan, told delegates. "Change is coming sooner or later, I think it's going to be sooner, and these changes are going to be big or small; I think they're going to be big."
