Ferdinand Rammrath

Ferdinand Rammrath is the Chief Procurement Officer at Covestro, a company he joined in 1995. He has extensive experience across sales, marketing, and product management before leading procurement divisions. He is focused on transforming the companys supply chains to be digital, sustainable, and business-oriented, particularly through the challenges of energy costs and raw material availability.

His activities show a deep commitment to shaping the future of the chemical industry. He is a frequent speaker and panelist at major industry summits hosted by Handelsblatt, where he engages with peers and policymakers on critical topics like energy policy, supply chain resilience, and Germanys industrial competitiveness.

He argues that the definition of "critical raw materials" must be expanded; from his perspective, even high-purity salt is absolutely critical for Covestros operations.
