Vienna, Austria - US-based Arch Chemicals has appointed IMCD South East Europe as its distribution partner for its polyether polyol range - Poly G - and the aromatic diol chain extender, Poly-G HQEE.
The deal covers twelve countries in the south-east of Europe including Austria, Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary.
IMCD said in a 4 Oct announcement that the appointment formalises a relationship that has already been in place for some time. And it attributed a 49 percent rise in Arch Chemicals' 2010 sales to IMCD's ability to "identify market development possibilities in growing economies while partnering product innovations with its customers."
