A subgroup of our Supply Chain Program Committee looking to address how supply chains can better respond to disruption, volatility, and long-term change, supporting EPCA members in strengthening their resilience and adaptability.
Supply chains today operate in an environment of constant disruption — from geopolitical shifts to climate events and market volatility. In Europe, the current import trends and the growing drive for circularity are reshaping European supply chains.
Established in 2025, the Adaptability Subgroup brings together industry leaders to support EPCA members in strengthening their resilience and adaptability. Their efforts center on contingency planning, resilience frameworks, and developing a maturity model to aid companies in benchmarking and enhancing adaptability. Initial findings will be shared in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Leadership of the EPCA Adaptability Subgroup:
Chairperson:
- Patrick Hore - Global Vertical Head Chemicals, Maersk
Members:
- Jelle Dierckx - Commercial & Business Development Director BU Belgium, Vopak
- Frank Ohlenschläger - Regional Director Europe, Chemicals, DSV
- Pim van den Doel - Commercial & Business Development Manager EMEA, Stolt-Nielsen
- Bram Plessers - Strategic Account Manager Industry & Liquid bulk Terminals, Port of Antwerp-Bruges
