Imagine our personalized service as if you were returning to your favorite hotel: over time, we get to know your needs, allowing us to cater to your preferences and make your experience with us as smooth as possible. We prioritize a personal, one-on-one consultation, treating you as a valued partner.

We carefully plan each step to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted production process.
Experience Our Quality Firsthand
We offer carefully selected products tailored to your specific requirements. You have two options: we can conduct in-house testing with samples of your materials, or provide trial batches for you to test directly on your own equipment. Once testing is successfully completed, we’re fully prepared to scale production to meet your precise needs.
Our Strategy for Agile Supply Chains to Ensure Reliable Deliveries
Today's market conditions present unique challenges in raw material sourcing. To address these, we’ve built agile supply chains that adapt to changing circumstances, minimizing reliance on specific suppliers or materials and ensuring you receive a steady, reliable supply. Our priorities include:
- Secure product availability
- Rigorous supply chain due diligence
- A comprehensive supplier code of conduct covering adherence to business principles, fair competition, human rights, labor and social standards, environmental protection, and product safety.
We tailor logistics to your needs—from transportation and specialized IBCs to streamlined goods receipt. For FCA shipments, we handle export notifications, ensuring our products are accurately documented before leaving the country. As a certified secure shipper and approved exporter, we are equipped to reliably serve customers worldwide.
Through our sustainability initiatives, we support you in making a significant impact across the entire value chain.
Accelerating climate change and limited resources are global challenges that must be addressed throughout our entire value chain. The EU’s focus on these issues through the Green Deal has resulted in an increasingly complex and dynamic regulatory landscape.
Many of these regulations also impact our products and their applications.
Our goal is to:
- Support you with innovative products, such as those for interior design,
- Enable you and your customers to meet (legal) sustainability requirements, and
- Help you achieve your sustainability goals.
This way, safe and sustainable products can be used at every stage of the value chain, including by consumers.
Supporting You and Your Customers in the EU
Do you have questions about compliance, particularly regarding EU chemical regulations (REACH)? To assist you as effectively as possible, we kindly ask that you inform us of your specific use cases, as well as those of your customers, and any associated requirements for the final product at your earliest convenience.
We ensure full regulatory compliance and safe use of our products across the EU market.
Supporting You and Your Customers Outside the EU
Do you have questions about compliance in non-EU regions? Regulations outside the EU are advancing with a similar level of complexity and dynamism as EU legislation. To assist you most effectively, we kindly ask that you inform us of your specific use cases, as well as those of your customers, and any associated requirements for the final product as soon as possible.
We are dedicated to ensuring full regulatory compliance and safe use of our products in markets around the world.
