Brenntag (ISIN DE000A1DAHH0), the global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution, and CheMondis, the leading B2B online marketplace for chemicals in Europe, announce a first cooperation. Brenntag and CheMondis plan to jointly accelerate digital sales and marketing for the chemical industry.
