Bodo Möller Chemie South Africa is extending its exclusive distribution agreement with BASF South Africa (Pty) Ltd for resins and additives. By further expanding the successful partnership in the field of dispersions for the CASE industry, Bodo Möller Chemie is now rounding off its range of products for local customers.
The contract applies to South Africa and all other countries in southern Africa. "The industrial use of CASE materials is continuously increasing in African countries. Through the exclusive distribution agreements with our long-standing partner, BASF, Bodo Möller Chemie is responding to the growing demand from local users," says Florian Krückl, Vice President Global Business Management CASE & Textile Effects of the Bodo Möller Chemie Group. "The growing demand for technical expertise and various services is placing more competence than ever in the hands of distributors in order to be able to take important steps on the way to market maturity of an end product," says Florian Krückl. As a leading distributor and application expert, Bodo Möller Chemie now optimally covers the needs of the CASE industry in Africa with its product portfolio.
Focus on coatings
Coatings for the CASE industry are at the center of the joint cooperation with BASF, with a focus on additives and resins. BASF is a long-standing partner of Bodo Möller Chemie and both companies provide mutual added value. "As partners, BASF and Bodo Möller Chemie share many common values. From innovative performance, quality and reliability to a clear focus on the needs of our customers," says Mark Hepburn, Managing Director of Bodo Möller Chemie South Africa (Pty) Ltd. With two branches in South Africa (Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg), Bodo Möller Chemie is able to offer its local customers the appropriate service and product portfolio and provide adequate advice to local users.

BASF is also pleased about the new cooperation with Bodo Möller Chemie. The EMEA Sales Manager for Resins and Additives, Dr. Bernd Meyer-Roscher, said: "Due to the good experiences from many years of cooperation in other countries, Bodo Möller Chemie is our chosen partner for sales in Southern Africa. Together with BASF, Bodo Möller Chemie will ensure that we maintain our extensive business coverage in Southern Africa as we strive to continuously add value to our customers with our comprehensive range of performance-oriented products."
Trust through expertise
For Bodo Möller Chemie, distribution has long since ceased to mean simply supplying a product to order. Sound advice with in-depth product knowledge is the decisive service for customers in many branches of industry in order to achieve an optimum solution for processes and applications. "We work with partners who are leaders in their field - both in terms of technology, innovation and sustainability. This allows us to offer Distribution 4.0 - from analyzing the desired solution, to selecting the optimal product, right through to delivery," says Florian Krückl from Bodo Möller Chemie.
In order to promote equal opportunities, the Africa branch is accredited in accordance with Level 8 Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment. This program supports social change in South Africa.
