About KRAHN CHEMIE

making a difference….

Krahn is an experienced European distribution company who recognises that success demands more than the standard solution. At Krahn, we make the difference by offering our principals a range of services and expertise that sets us apart from other distributors.

Krahn´s organisation reflects a clear market orientation. The key for our in-depth product and application know-how, as well as our high market penetration, is an experienced industry team combining product management, technical service and sales. Our core customer segments are coatings, adhesive & sealants, construction chemicals, plastic and rubber processing, technical ceramics, photovoltaic, as well as lubricants & greases.
