Wacker reorganises silicone distribution in Nordic states

Munich, Germany – Chemicals group Wacker has announced that it has reorganised its silicone distribution business in Nordic countries.

In a press release on 12 Dec the Munich-based firk said that Lindberg & Lund Oy AB, a subsidiary of the Norwegian chemicals distributor Lindberg & Lund AS, would market room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone rubber grades in Finland as of 1 Mar 2015. Kevra Oy was the previous distributor for the business. Distribution responsibilities in Sweden are to remain with ABIC Kemi AB, which is now part of the Lindberg & Lund Group.

As a result of the reorganization, Lindberg & Lund will be assuming a large portion of the distribution business, giving it a key role in the sale of room-temperature-curing silicones in the Nordic region. ABIC, a Swedish specialty chemicals distributor, will act as a regional hub, distributing products to adjacent Scandinavian countries, including Denmark.
