Harke Acquires Swedish Vendico
Harke Group, a high-performance chemicals and plastics distributor based in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, acquired the Swedish Vendico Group, comprising Vendico Chemical, Inventicon, and Omni International.
Vendico Group represents several dozen leading manufacturers of chemical raw materials in the Personal Care, Home Care, and I&I sectors, as well as other applications. It has a broad range of chemicals that are directed towards many branches of the Nordic chemical industry, with a strong foothold on companies working with surface active applications.
Thorsten Harke, President of Harke Group commented: “With the acquisition of Vendico Group, we further strengthen our presence in the Nordic chemical distribution market. Vendico Group fits perfectly to Harke Group. Not only concerning the regions it covers — Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Baltic region. But also from its product range and the principals it represents, of which many had been cooperating with Harke Group before already. By combining the two company groups we can now offer an even better coverage and service to our customers and principals throughout Europe and Asia.”
