Project Overview: This mega project involved the construction of a new battery material production facility in Western Poland, designed as a zero-emission plant to support the rapidly expanding European electric vehicle and energy storage markets. With a total investment of €1.2 billion, the project was executed under an EPCM contract led by an external engineering firm with a strong petrochemical background. The facility was built to meet the highest environmental and efficiency standards, requiring substantial power supply capacity and advanced chemical process integration.
IM Procurement played a pivotal role in managing strategic procurement and contracting activities for critical process equipment, construction packages, and supplier engagement. Despite significant supply chain pressures and single-source supplier dependencies, the project achieved major procurement milestones on time through proactive coordination, transparent communication, and deep market expertise.

Project Overview: This project focused on the expansion of an existing pharmaceutical-grade lactose production facility located in Northern Germany. The primary objective was to install a new double drum dryer system to significantly enhance production capacity, product quality, and process reliability. The investment aimed to ensure compliance with strict pharmaceutical hygiene standards while improving operational efficiency.

IM Procurement was responsible for the full procurement and contracting scope, managing key process equipment, construction packages, and supplier negotiations. The project was delivered On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) with 10% procurement savings achieved through strategic sourcing, supplier benchmarking, and value-driven contract management.

Key Details:

• Location: Northern Germany
• Timeline: 30 months
• Budget: €86 million
