Coatings Competence Center in Africa

As provider of specialty chemicals and complete solutions for the industry, Bodo Möller Chemie already has an Adhesive Competence Center (ACC) located in Europe. The full service offered, which is related to adhesive application technology, includes all steps, from product selection all the way to product validation, process simulation and engineering. Following this model of the Adhesive Competence Center, Bodo Möller Chemie is planning a Coatings Competence Center (CCC) in Johannesburg, to be opened soon. In addition to offering help for the specific application, the CCC will also offer seminars for customers and on-site support, both in ongoing production and formulation.

We work with our customers at the technical processing level and offer substantially more application knowledge than what is customary in distribution. In the coming months, we will also expand our product portfolio for the paint and coating industry. Colorants and pigment dispersions for the in-plant and POS area will make our assortment even more attractive,” explains Florian Krückl, Vice President Global Business Management CASE & Textile Effects at Bodo Möller Chemie.
