KRAHN CHEMIE und OXEA weiten ihre Zusammenarbeit auf Frankreich aus

29.01.2016

Ab dem 1. Februar 2016 übernimmt KRAHN CHEMIE die Distribution der OXEA Spezialester in Frankreich und baut hierfür ein lokales Vertriebsteam auf, das in der Anfangsphase von der französischen Niederlassung der Schwesterfirma ALBIS PLASTIC aus operieren wird. KRAHN CHEMIE plant ihre Präsenz in Frankreich weiter auszubauen und kurzfristig eine eigene Tochtergesellschaft zu gründen.

OXEA and KRAHN CHEMIE have been working together in the field of specialty esters in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Eastern Europe for many years now.

The individual components of the OXEA portfolio distributed by KRAHN CHEMIE are composed of the following products: OXSOFT GPO, OXSOFT DOA, OXSOFT TOTM, OXSOFT 3G8, OXSOFT L9TM, OXSOFT DUO 1, OXSOFT DUO 2, OXBLUE ATBC and OXBLUE DOSX. These products are used as plasticizers in the processing of plastics and rubber, in adhesives and sealants, as well as in paints and coatings, and as synthetic esters in lubricants.

“In recent years, we have come to appreciate KRAHN CHEMIE as an extremely competent partner who successfully distributes our specialty esters on the market with a great deal of dedication and technical understanding,” says Jacco de Haas, Commercial Business Director Specialty Esters at OXEA GmbH. “As such, the expansion of our cooperation to France is a logical move.”

“OXEA is one of our most important strategic partners with whom we tackle the management and the targeted development of the market hand in hand. Since we represent other renowned manufacturers of plasticizers within the KRAHN CHEMIE GROUP in addition to OXEA, we consider ourselves the leading distributor in this field,” explains Axel Sebbesse, Managing Director of Krahn Chemie GmbH. “The extended partnership with OXEA is the perfect foundation for us to enter into the French market and further expand our presence in France.”
