Navigate supply chain uncertainties by localising, suggests Messer
In a keynote address at the Specialty Gas Summit 2025 in Utrecht, Virginia Esly, Chief Operating Officer for Europe at Messer SE & Co, highlighted the uncertainties and challenges facing the specialty gases industry due to ongoing geopolitical trade tensions.
Esly stressed that businesses must find a way to navigate this volatile environment, as the current situation poses significant challenges for those seeking stability. She pointed out that conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as the US President Donald Trump's trade war, have added to these uncertainties.
These uncertainties have led to extra issues that have at times impacted trade flows and clearance times, increasing the risk of bottlenecks. Esly's assessment, made in 2025, also indicated that more creativity and flexibility will be required from key players in the specialty gases industry in the years ahead.
