Partnership for the distribution of functional mineral fillers
The global talc producer, Mondo Minerals, and the European specialty chemicals distributor, Grolman, have recently extended their partnership, which already included a distribution agreement for Austria, Benelux, France and Germany. Starting on January 1, 2014, Grolman will also distribute the products Finntalc, Plustalc and Microtalc in another 13 countries of the European Union, including Italy, Poland and Switzerland, on the plastic and rubber, paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics markets.
In the past decade, Grolman has pursued its strategy of becoming a pan-European organisation, offering its support to suppliers and clients through local branches. Laboratories and personnel, however, operate according to a standardised model, and they share the knowledge and experience they have acquired group-wide. In 2005, the company opened its Italian branch in Robbiate, in the province of Lecco, and developed a structure that will provide local distribution at a national level. The new agreement with Mondo Minerals is intended to expand the existing range of functional mineral fillers with high quality products.
