Krahn Chemie takes over the business of Lapis

With retroactive effect from the biginning of the year 2016, Krahn Chemie has acquired the distribution activities of the Dutch company Lapis Minerals & Chemicals (Lapis) as part of an asset deal. The focus of the Lapis business is in the distribution of construction chemicals in the Benelux countries. The acquisition is thus in line with the Krahn Chemie strategy to further strengthen its core segments in Europe. Also to be viewed in this context is the recruitment of the former Lapis manager Ferry Jacobs, who not only assured the smooth transfer of the acquired businesses but who, as Technical Director Construction Chemicals for Krahn Chemie, also wants to expand this sector throughout Europe.
