Showa Denko Merges European Units
Japan’s Showa Denko has decided to consolidate its two European subsidiaries to expand business operations in the region. Effective Jan. 1, 2021, Showa Denko Carbon Holding (SDCH) will take over Showa Denko Europe (SDE), becoming the surviving entity. It will then change its name to Showa Denko Europe.
The newly merged company will be headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany, but will retain SDCH’s head office in Munich as a sales office.
SDCH operates its graphite electrode subsidiaries as a management company in Europe while SDE provides business support services to Showa Denko’s European subsidiaries, including import/export management, chemical substance management and marketing functions.
