Columbian forms European carbon black partnership

ERJ staff report (LMH)

Hamburg, Germany -- Columbian Chemicals Europa GmbH and Nordmann, Rassmann GmbH (NRC) have formed a carbon black distribution partnership for the European rubber industry.

Effective 1 Jan 2012, NRC will begin to handle the entire ASTM line of carbon blacks produced by Columbian to service less than truck load consumers and all small bags sales in Northern-, Western- and parts of Central Eastern Europe.

Carbon black filled in small bags of various sizes will be repackaged by a third party partner, Filzhut Logistik GmbH of Neuss, Germany, and assist in the supply chain of both Columbian and NRC, according to a 26 Oct news release from NRC.

Columbian will work closely with NRC over the next months in technical and market exchanges to build an extension of the current sales and supply chain structures.
