From regional company to global powerhouse

SABIC had been a successful regional petrochemical company. Rapid growth had seen them acquire a new, much larger, multinational workforce, spread across many nations and cultures. The challenge: to unite this new and extended entity into one strong, seamless global operation.

The solution

We worked in close collaboration with our SABIC key contacts to refine a clear, simple and distinctive essence of what was special about the company. Despite SABIC’s highly technical base, it quickly became clear that the solution, perhaps surprisingly, lay with people rather than technology. This, we established, was a company founded above all on long term relationships based on trust.

The result

That core truth became the heart of a comprehensive brand identity system that has united the worldwide organisation behind one core vision. The vision focussed efforts, propelling the company from 16,000 people to 33,000, and from profits of US$0.7 billion to US$5.86 billion, over just six years.
