The Balance of Distribution
The turnover of the chemical distribution sector accounts for just 2.5% of
the total turnover of the chemical industry in Belgium.
The large manufacturers maintain preferential commercial links with a
limited number of potential large users, which is < 10% of the total industrial
customers.
Chemical distribution is responsible for the remaining 90 % of delivery
points.
