ANGUS Chemical Company, a global manufacturer and marketer of specialty and fine chemicals, has announced a new distribution strategy for the company’s portfolio of nitroalkanes and their derivatives sold in Europe.
The transition to the new distribution agreements, which began January 1st 2017, is expected to be completed by late spring.
Through a consolidated distributor network, ANGUS is shifting to a pan-European approach for serving customers in the life sciences, personal care and metalworking fluids markets.
The company will maintain a regional approach to serving the paints and coatings and other industrial markets.
This is to address the specialised needs of formulators and manufacturers in different geographies.
The company's new distributors are authorised to sell ANGUS products into their respective markets following a de-stocking and transition period with ANGUS’ former European distributors.
Customers and markets not covered under the agreements will continue to be directly served by ANGUS.

Liam Doherty is Business Vice President, EMEA and India. “In addition to extensive logistics capabilities, our new distribution partners share ANGUS’s dedication to delivering technology and service that drive innovation and growth for our customers,” he said.
“These strategic channel partnerships will enhance our ability to deliver the highest levels of supply reliability supported by one-stop access to deep market and technical expertise. We look forward to working closely with customers and our new partners to ensure continuity of supply and technical support from ANGUS during the transition period.”
In late 2016, ANGUS also celebrated the grand opening of its new Customer Application Centre (CAC) in Paris, France.
The new laboratory is staffed to provide a variety of technical services, including analytical and applied research, as well as application, formulation and regulatory support to customers across all markets in the region.
“Our investment in our Paris CAC reinforces ANGUS’ commitment to innovation and service excellence by bringing technology and formulation expertise to a local level in order to provide the best solution for customers,” said Doherty.
“This, together with our new strategic distributor network, will enable us to serve customers in the region faster and more efficiently with versatile chemistries and expertise they need to make their products and businesses perform even better.”
