Effective 1 July 2026, the agreement covers most European markets, including the DACH region, the UK, France, Benelux, Scandinavia, CEE, Israel and Turkey, excluding Italy, Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa.

Evonik REXIM is a leading supplier of high-quality amino acids, with relevant parts of its production supported by domestic European supply.


The company combines expertise in fermentation, bioconversion and synthetic manufacturing. The partnership with Brenntag supports Evonik REXIM’s strategy to expand in key global markets while giving customers stronger local service, technical support and long-term supply security.


“Our collaboration with Evonik reflects Brenntag’s commitment to bringing high-value pharmaceutical ingredients and solutions closer to customers,” said Joakim Rehné, President, Brenntag Pharma EMEA.
