Arkema Coating Resins and OMYA, a leading global producer of industrial minerals and a worldwide distributor of specialty chemicals, announced today that they are extending their existing distribution cooperation throughout Europe to include liquid resins for the coating industry, in addition to the thickeners, dispersing agent and plastic additives agreements already in place.
Under this distribution agreement, OMYA will market ARKEMA Coating Resins’ full product range used in the coating market across Europe, on an exclusive basis, except in Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. Representation will start as of January 1, 2016.
As a consequence, and after many years of successful cooperation, ARKEMA has decided to terminate its liquid resins distribution agreement with GROLMAN Group, effective from 31.12.2015. GROLMAN Group remains the ARKEMA distributor for Kynar, Rilsan and Orgasol to the paint and coatings industry across Europe.
