The agreement follows the two companies’ successful collaboration on the First ICIS World Surfactant Conference in New York in May 2011. The conference attracted over 150 senior managers from the surfactant industry with attendees and speakers representing companies such as Akzo, BASF, Church & Dwight, Colgate, Croda, Dow, Ecolab, Johnson &Johnson, Kao, LG, PQ, P&G, Reckitt Benckiser, Rhodia, SC Johnson, Stepan and many others.
RBI, via its ICIS subsidiary, organizes conferences and training courses globally in many chemical areas including petrochemicals, oleochemicals, and base-oils. The company notes that the agreement with Neil A. Burns LLC enables them to expand their conference activities into a new key market with significant global potential.
Neil Burns, whose company Neil A Burns LLC has an existing business providing advisory and investment services in specialty chemicals with a particular focus on the surfactant value chain, will play a key role at the surfactant events as chair and/or speaker. Regarding the upcoming Asian conference, he states, "Due to the success of the first ICIS World Surfactant Conference in New York, earlier this year, we have been asked by many industry players to bring the conference to Asia. We are excited to be holding this event in the middle of the fastest growing, most dynamic surfactant market in the world today."
