Safic-Alcan group has announced the expansion of its distribution agreement with LABEMA in Portugal, Poland, South Africa, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Safic-Alcan, a global distributor of specialty chemicals, has announced that it has signed a new exclusive distribution agreement with LABEMA, a French company specializing in the formulation and production of flash rust inhibitors and liquid anticorrosive additives. Thanks to this agreement, the company will now distribute in Portugal, Poland, South Africa, Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as in Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Ukraine and Malaysia, where it is already present.
The partnership in all countries – except Germany (non-coatings applications only) - includes the entire LABEMA portfolio of proven anti-corrosive additives suitable for various water-based systems
(coatings, in-can protection for packaging, lubricants, coolant agents, temporary metal protection), known under the brands EMADOX®, AB-RUST®, EMARUST® and VEGERUST®.
“Both SAFIC-ALCAN and LABEMA are sharing the same core-values. We trust their technical sales teams to develop our presence in these new territories. Their customers will of course benefit from our fully equipped laboratory” said JPP Laronze, Founder and CEO of LABEMA.
“LABEMA has a strong expertise in the formulation of inhibitors and evaluation of flash-rusting and corrosion phenomena. For several years, they have also been innovative by developing the VEGERUST range, replacing fossil based raw materials by renewable alternatives. Such specialty additives are particularly in line with our portfolio strategy and sustainability initiatives. There is, therefore, good reason to be excited by this expanded partnership and confident it can be more value to SAFIC-ALCAN customers” added Jean-Marie Schmuck, Business Development Director Coatings & Construction at SAFIC-ALCAN.
