The Competence Center offers numerous services that enable new developments using innovative raw materials to reach the market more quickly. "With our constantly growing expertise, we have developed a global footprint as an application expert with a comprehensive product portfolio. Added to this is our efficient logistics, which customers around the world rely on.

CASE product portfolio
The Bodo Möller Chemie Group offers a broad product portfolio of binders, additives and pigments for the special field of CASE applications. Its industrial partners include global companies such as Merck, Evonik, BASF, Songwon and many more. As a full-range supplier, Bodo Möller Chemie also faces the challenges of raw material shortages and international transportation bottlenecks. "We want to offer our customers all options for a better supply of high-quality materials. We achieve this through stockpiling and a constantly growing product range from a single source. This enables us to offer valuable alternatives that might otherwise not have been available," explains Volker Oehl, Director Business Development at the Bodo Möller Chemie Group.
