In this case study, an international client engaged CPL Business Consultants to assess and offer advice on amino acid markets as an area of potential opportunity.

The client wanted to reduce its dependence on a single product, and there were a number of possibilities that it could consider to achieve this. These included adding value to its existing products or by-products, developing new products based on its location, technical capability and physical assets, or making and developing acquisitions in related businesses.

CPL provided an overview of various potential opportunities to inform the client’s strategic decision-making process. We also provided recommendations on where to focus and the sectors that have the most promise.
