More DSM in Italy

The well-known chemical company DSM has entered into new agreements with two Italian distributors, Nevicolor and Nexeo Solutions, for its engineering plastics portfolio in Italy to improve its coverage in Italy. The move means that Italian customers will now have a choice of distributors for their thermoplastics.
Nevicolor is a growing family-owned distributor based in Luzzara, not far from Parma, which previously distributed DSM products only in the Emilia Romagna region.
Nexeo Solutions is a pan European distribution partner for DSM and covers the rest of the country (apart from the North-East). The main Italian warehouse of Nexeo is located near Milan.
From now on, Nevicolor and Nexeo will both distribute in all areas of Italy, apart from the North-Eastern Italian region, which continues to be the responsibility of a third distributor, Arcopolimeri.
The reorganization, which is effective beginning of 2013, is in line with DSM's strategy to deliver value for existing and new customers world-wide.
