A subsidiary of a government-owned Chinese chemical company required help in expanding its animal nutrition production capacity. X-PM set up a team within the organization to monitor the construction of new facilities in Spain and China. The projects successfully reinforced the client’s position as a world leader in amino acid production.
Situation
The Chinese client, a world leader in amino acid production for animal nutrition, aimed to double its capacity in Spain ( €100 million) and in China (€450 million ).
In addition to working with an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management company, the client required X-PM China’s help in setting up a team “on their side” to mirror the engineering project team and fully control the project progress on a daily basis.
Solutions
X-PM China provided a project director in Spain with 30 years of experience and three managers in China: two project directors and a controller.
The duration of support by X-PM China was significantly longer than usual: two years in Spain and four and a half years on average for the team in China.
Results
The Spanish investment was completed on time and 5% under budget.
For the Chinese expansion project, the experienced team was able to deal efficiently with an increasingly stringent environmental protection approval system.
