Since October 2016, Stockmeier Chemie represents the surfactant portfolio of Kolb as its preferred partner in Germany. After 10 months of successful business development the partnership is now made official by a contract signed by both parties.

The portfolio comprises products of the Kolb in Hedingen (CH) and Moerdijk (NL). This serves to further expand the existing collaboration between the two companies. “We’ve been working closely with the Stockmeier Group for a long time already, and we are confident that this strategic partnership will enhance our market presence and serve as a high-quality distribution channel,” says Dr. Anja Vonderhagen, Business Director of Kolb.

For many years, brands such as Kotilen, Imbentin, Sympatens and Greenbentin have set standards in the cosmetics and cleaning segments and in several other industries. This makes the products a perfect fit in Stockmeier Chemie’s portfolio. Dirk Seidel, General Manager for Specialty Chemicals at Stockmeier Chemie, is optimistic about the collaboration: “Kolb has evolved into a key partner for the Stockmeier Group, especially with its focus on Europe. Oleochemical products that are certified as sustainable will define the future in many areas of application. That makes this cooperation an important building block for the future orientation of our sales activities.”
