Luxembourg/Luxembourg – Specialty chemicals and food ingredients distributor Azelis has recently announced the acquisition of 100 % of the shares of Whitfield Chemical Group, the parent company of Whitchem, a well-regarded distributor focused on CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers) and R&PA (rubber & plastic additives) in the UK.

This acquisition reinforces Azelis’ position in industrial chemicals, and specifically in the CASE and R&PA market segments in the UK. Whitchem’s long-standing relationships with blue-chip principals and product portfolio strengthen Azelis’ lateral value chain in the UK, whilst their wide customer base and strong local technical sales team further expands the Group’s product offering and customer reach.

Whitchem employs 30 staff and generates the vast majority of their sales in the UK, with some exports to Ireland. Following the closing, the Whitchem management will stay and support the integration into Azelis, remain committed to growing the business, and further strengthen Azelis’ CASE & R&PA team.
