Bodo Möller Chemie: Expanded distribution agreement with BASF in South Africa
Bodo Möller Chemie South Africa announced that it is expanding the exclusive sales and distribution agreement with BASF South Africa (Pty) Ltd for resins and additives. Due to the further expansion of the successful partnership in the field of dispersions for the CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers) industry, Bodo Möller Chemie is now further completing the offerings for local customers. The agreement applies to South Africa and all other countries in southern Africa.
“The industrial use of CASE materials continues to grow in African countries. Owing to the exclusive & distribution agreements with our long-standing partner BASF, Bodo Möller Chemie is reacting to the growing demand of local users”, said Florian Krückl, Vice President Global Business Management CASE & Textile Effects of the Bodo Möller Chemie Group. “The growing demand for technical expertise and various services places nowadays more expertise than ever before in the hands of distributors so the number of important steps leading to the market readiness of an end product can be reduced,” said Krückl.
Coatings for the CASE industry are at the centre of the joint cooperation with BASF, and the focus here is on additives and resins. BASF is a long-standing partner of Bodo Möller Chemie. “As partners, BASF and Bodo Möller Chemie have many values in common, from innovative performance, quality and reliability all the way to clear orientation towards our customers’ needs”, said Mark Hepburn, Managing Director of Bodo Möller Chemie South Africa (Pty) Ltd. With two branch offices in South Africa (Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg), Bodo Möller Chemie is capable of offering its local customers the corresponding service and product portfolio as well as the appropriate advice to its local users.
