With the acquisition of the majority of shares in Kemtan AG, the STOCKMEIER Group is continuing its expansion course in Europe. The Bielefeld-based family business is not only strongly represented in its home market of Germany, but also in Spain, France, Benelux, Austria and Central Eastern Europe. With Kemtan AG, the Swiss market is now to be further developed.

“We are very pleased that Kemtan AG will be part of our group of companies in the future and that STOCKMEIER will thus also be represented locally in Switzerland. The profile of Kemtan AG fits perfectly into the STOCKMEIER Group”, says Peter Stockmeier, Managing Partner of the STOCKMEIER Group, about the latest acquisition. In 2019, the Group had already grown significantly through acquisitions through acquisitions in Spain (Indukern - industrial chemicals division), France (Quaron) and Hungary (Aroma Bázis).

Kemtan's product portfolio for the Swiss market is expected to be expanded through its integration into the STOCKMEIER Group.
