Brenntag acquires expert for supply chain solutions in North America

Brenntag, the global market leader in chemical distribution, has acquired Philchem, Inc., based in Houston, Texas. Philchem is specialized in managing individual supply and demand imbalances in selected product groups utilizing long term relationships with key suppliers and an excellent logistics expertise.

Markus Klähn, CEO Brenntag North America: “We expect global supply chain flows to shift as a result of the shale gas developments in North America. Brenntag’s customers and suppliers will increasingly benefit from Philchem’s capability to manage individual supply and demand situations. With the help of Philchem, Brenntag will be even better equipped to predictably move products and to ensure reliable supply. The business model of Philchem complements the strategic profile of the Brenntag Global Marketing team and its expertise in products with global flow.”

Philip Exnicious, President of Philchem says: “I am looking forward to partnering with Brenntag to develop strategic business bringing additional benefits to customers and suppliers.”

For the financial year 2013, Philchem generated total sales of approximately USD 162 m. The company recorded a Gross Profit of USD 7.7 m and an adjusted EBITDA of 6.1 m. The investment amount is USD 42 m.
