Worldwide, it can be observed that M&amp;A activities have increased significantly despite the challenging economic environment. In chemical&nbsp;distribution, the M&amp;A volume remains high despite the tense market situation, with acquisitions serving as an important growth lever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\"
