US specialty chemicals company Chemtura is expanding its relationship with Azelis Americas with effect from Feb. 1, 2017. The company will become Chemtura’s sole distributor for its Great Lakes Solutions flame retardant products in the USA and Canada, replacing Chempoint and Nexeo. The distribution agreement will encompass the complete brominated and phosphorus flame retardant product portfolios in combination with antimony & synergist.

Chad Kessler, commercial director for Great Lakes Solutions in the Americas, states: “Chemtura is committed to enabling our customers’ growth, hence consolidating our distribution channel with Azelis makes sense, given their world-class technical capabilities and supply chain expertise which will allow Chemtura to more efficiently serve all market segments.”
