Syensqo accelerates efficiency measures to support long-term growth

The company aims to accelerate time to market and adapt to the economic environment 

Brussels, November 5, 2024 - 7:05 CET

Syensqo is today announcing plans to adapt its organization to better meet the evolving needs of its customers and focus on projects that will accelerate growth. 

Following its split from Solvay at the end of 2023, the company has undertaken a comprehensive review of its structure and projects, to focus on growth opportunities and improve returns profile, consistent with its mid-term financial targets. 

As a result, Syensqo is opening consultation processes, which include a proposed reduction of approximately 300 to 350 positions, primarily in France, the United States, Belgium and Italy.  

“Since the start of the year, we have operated with more focus and have gained more clarity around our customers’ needs. In the context of ongoing macroeconomic and demand uncertainty, we now need to take the necessary actions to adapt and refine our organization to support our long-term growth,” said Dr Ilham Kadri, CEO of Syensqo. “Our primary objective is to position Syensqo for success. Any decision that may affect our people is never taken lightly and we intend to act with the utmost respect for the employees who may be impacted by this announcement, guided by the principles of dignity and empathy”.

In parallel, Syensqo is advancing other initiatives to support its growth strategy. This  includes the development of a world-class digital infrastructure to bring new levels of efficiency and agility across its operations, as Syensqo prepares to fully separate its business support systems from Solvay, as planned, by the end of 2025. These efforts will result in the creation of hundreds of new jobs in information technology, system infrastructure and business intelligence.

ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – DETAILED COMMENTS 11/05/2024

Sovereign long rates rose sharply, particularly in the US, on the back of macro indicators likely to provide arguments to the most hawkish of central bankers. All eyes are now on the November 5 elections and their repercussion...

ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – COMMENTAIRES DETAILLES 05/11/2024

Les marchés actions européens ont fléchi en octobre après les nombreuses déceptions sur la saison des résultats. L’approche de l’élection US, très incertaine selon les sondages, pourrait également avoir poussé à la prudence certains opérateurs. Les taux longs souverains ont nettement remonté, en particulier aux Etats-Unis, sur la base d’indicateurs macro susceptibles de donner des arguments aux plus faucons des banquiers centraux. Tous les yeux sont désormais rivés sur le scrutin du 5...
