Oqema Group, a leading chemical distributor in Europe, has been appointed as the official European distribution partner by Patcham FZC, manufacturer of specialty additives, for their range of products for the paints & inks industry. The distribution agreement covers sales and marketing activities for all European countries, except the UK, Poland, and Italy (partly Baltics) and complements Oqema’s existing specialty product portfolio.

Patcham FZC is a global manufacturer of specialty additives. Since its inception in 1996, the company has steadily grown to become a leading supplier of metal carboxylates and specialty additives for coatings, inks, PVC, composites and oilfield chemicals, as well as tin and tin-free catalysts. Patcham has built a strong manufacturing and R&D infrastructure that enables the rapid transition from concept to products.

“We are delighted that Patcham trusts in our capabilities and has appointed the Oqema Group as their strategic partner in Europe. With Patcham’s specialty additives for the paints & inks industry, we make another massive step to establish Oqema as a leading European distributor for the specialty chemicals industry”, comments André Schommer, Group Business Development Manager.
