German distributor Bodo Möller Chemie (Offenbach; www.bm-chemie.de) has set up a new subsidiary in the Moroccan port city of Casablanca. In this way "we are reinforcing our presence on the African continent and, after heading towards north and south Africa, we are now moving west too", says CEO Frank Haug. The products marketed include epoxy resins, polyacrylates and polyurethanes from Huntsman (The Woodlands, Texas / USA; www.huntsman.com) as well as polymer materials for floor coatings and polymer formulations from the company’s own polymer system house in Egypt. The company similarly supplies products for use in the plastics and textile sectors, along with additives and epoxy resin systems for paints and coatings.

Bodo Möller has further branches in North Africa in Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria. With the subsidiary in Casablanca, the headcount at the Bodo Möller Chemie Group has risen to just under 200.
