The Downstream Industry has seen a significant amount of consolidation over the past decade and we believe we will continue to see additional consolidation. We are also seeing a lot of international investment and purchases of assets in North America by foreign entities. These countries and international companies are gaining an entry point into this long-term sustainable industry.
The Downstream industry traditionally has been viewed as a very conservative industry sector, however, in many instances, companies have embraced new business ideals and are starting to look at running their manufacturing companies much differently that they have even five years ago.
One of the key ingredients to success for this industry are two-fold; People and Technology. With the ever-changing technology and software applications and the even newer Digital Transformation initiatives that are taking place, technology is going to shape the productivity of the downstream sectors. Many of these solutions are scalable and adaptive to the downstream industry and when implemented, can positively impact the bottom line.
Most importantly, it’s the leadership that drives change and identifies operational inefficiencies and implements corrective measures to affect change. Safety of the employee continues to be paramount and we have seen increased safety measures being implemented in order to keep the people and the work environment safe.
