IPC 2012: Schlanger Receives Petrochemical Heritage Award

摘要

The Chemical Heritage Foundation and the Founders Club named Marvin Schlanger, chairman of the supervisory board of LyondellBasell Industries, as recipient of the 2012 Petrochemical Heritage Award at the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM; Washington) International Petrochemical Conference held in San Antonio, TX this week. Globalization, technology advances, and the more rapid pace of decision making have transformed industry and how it is managed, Schlanger told IPC attendees. No decision can be made without assessing the global implications, Schlanger says. Application of technology has also become central to success. “Whether it is bulk petrochemicals or specialties we seek a techno- logical advantage over competitors,” Schlanger says.
