ALBIS, a leading distributor of thermoplastic polymers, and Röhm, a major global provider of methacrylic products and intermediates, are expanding their successful partnership. As of October 1, 2024, ALBIS receives additional distribution rights for PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID® molding compounds in the Scandinavian regions (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden) and the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Previously, the cooperation between ALBIS and Röhm has covered the markets of Turkey and North Africa.
“We are very pleased to receive these new distribution rights to further expand our collaboration with Röhm. This is a clear vote of confidence in the expertise, service, and market knowledge of ALBIS,“ says Julian Wegner, Business Manager Technical Polymers at ALBIS. „With our strong network, we are well-positioned to drive the growth of PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID® in Scandinavia and the Baltics, and to further establish these brands in these regions.”
“By deciding to grant ALBIS the distribution rights, we are emphasizing continuity and our trust in a partnership that has already proven successful in Turkey and North Africa,” adds René Kogler, Head of Business Management & Distribution at Röhm. “We look forward to continued collaboration and are seeing significant potential to strengthen the presence of our brands in these regions in order to leverage the growth opportunities in Northern and Northeastern Europe.”
PLEXIGLAS®, Röhm’s brand of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), has been a key material in various industries for over 90 years. The basic and specialty molding compounds of PLEXIGLAS® are reliable and innovative materials for modern and sustainable design thanks to their exceptional properties: They offer the highest surface hardness among all thermoplastic polymers and are particularly robust, as well as extremely resistant to UV radiation and weathering. These characteristics significantly contribute to the long lifespan of the products that use PLEXIGLAS®. PLEXIGLAS® proTerra molding compounds are produced from sustainable raw materials and reduce the carbon footprint without compromising on proven performance.
PLEXIMID® (PMMI) is known for its excellent heat resistance and high transparency, making it particularly suitable for demanding applications in the optics and electronics industries
