We work with you on both short and long-term procurement strategies that provide the largest possible savings. We help you in the search for equivalent types of materials which meet the same specifications as your existing products.

We focus on complete transparency

With its comprehensive, integrated service SSC-Consult is unique. So we bring transparency to the complex supplier market for plastic raw materials. Producers, distributors and traders try to get the highest price possible for their resin.

SSC-Consult other hand operates completely independently. We have no affiliation with the sellers of resin. Our sole aim is to help our clients. Often business consultants look for high one off fees for short term assignments. Our approach, however, is focused on your long-term success by continuing cost reductions. Only if you are successful, so are we.

Our information is comprehensive

Many information services provide independent information on price and market movements. These are often influenced by the large producers and the information is of little use to the buyer. We, however, inform on the basis of data, facts and prices of actual contracts at converters.

Accurate and timely information is essential in the purchase of raw materials. Few sources of information are perfectly geared to deliver the plastic buyers the actual current market prices. Published prices or price indices are useful indicators of trends and market movements. But they say nothing about whether the producers always treat their customers the same way and offer them the same price. Selective information in a complex commodity market can be misleading.

The consulting services of SSC-Consult go far beyond pure price reporting. Of course, we also take into account that market prices are influenced not only by supply and demand but also by the development of the global economy, the situation on the energy market and also by climate influences and other parameters.
