Discuss your sector mandate with our South African team.

Overview

De-risking capital-intensive chemical and materials investments

Our team structures bankable projects for chemical producers seeking capital for decarbonization, capacity expansion, and portfolio optimization with robust ERM frameworks.

Chemicals investment on the continent is driven by import substitution — fertiliser above all — and by adding processing to resources currently exported raw. Feedstock access, power reliability, and foreign exchange for inputs shape the financing.
