“The digital transformation of chemical distribution will accelerate; that’s a fact. However, I cannot imagine that we will trade all products digitally in the future. In some cases we are dealing with highly sensitive products, whose sales processes we have to keep in our hands. I just think, for example, of end-use certification or Responsible Care regulations. In this area, digitization definitely reaches its limits.”
