The new partnership aims to combine ChemQuest’s global expertise with PCI&KM’s local network, creating a one-stop strategic empowerment system to support enterprises across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
The ChemQuest Group, a global consulting firm specialising in business strategy, technology acceleration, market intelligence, and M&A advisory for the specialty materials sector, has announced a strategic partnership with PCI&KM, a leading industrial ecosystem platform serving China’s coatings industry.
As APAC companies navigate global value chain restructuring, rapid technological advancement, and sustainable development transitions, the region is shifting from cost-based competition to value-driven growth and from local operations to a global outlook. Historically, access to international strategic resources and tailored consultancy has been limited, constraining enterprise development.
“We are committed to genuine value co-creation. This partnership with ChemQuest allows us to connect the industry’s future and empower enterprise development. Our clients will gain not only insights but a strategic roadmap to succeed on a global scale,” has stated Liu Minghui, publisher of PCI&KM.
The collaboration will leverage ChemQuest’s methodologies, databases, and M&A experience alongside PCI&KM’s local insights, network, and digital capabilities. Together, the firms will focus on four key areas:
- Globalisation strategy and market entry support
- M&A and capital strategy
- Operational excellence and smart manufacturing upgrades
- Technology commercialisation and innovation acceleration
For APAC specialty chemicals companies, the partnership lowers barriers to global resources, delivers customised solutions, and provides end-to-end support from strategy to implementation. At an industry level, it marks a move from one-way information sharing to in-depth, strategic collaboration, supporting high-quality growth driven by technological innovation and global integration.
“The APAC market is the fastest-growing hub for specialty chemicals worldwide. PCI&KM’s expertise, ecosystem, and client trust are impressive, and we look forward to applying our 50 years of global experience to deliver real growth for local enterprises,” has added Daniel Murad, ChemQuest CEO.
