Pyrethroids

In this case study, a manufacturing company engaged CPL Business Consultants to assist it in valorising a co-product of its main production, specifically looking at its potential as an intermediate for the production of pyrethroids.  Using a combination of its scientific, technical and commercial knowledge, CPL characterised the market and made strategic recommendations on how the client should proceed. 

The objective of this project was to assist the client in determining its plans regarding chemical intermediates available to it. The client had significant quantities of a specialist intermediate available and wanted to identify higher-value uses for this compound. One option is producing pyrethroids, synthetic insecticides used in various applications for crop protection and non-crop pest control, including diseases, amenities and domestic insect pest control. An assessment was made of the opportunity presented by this chemical and its synthesis into insecticides.
