Responsibility for environment and society

Being a successful chemicals marketing organisation operating on an international scale, we assign immense importance to responsible handling of our products. Safety and care rank first and foremost, both during transportation and storage. This is intended to protect mankind and the environment; at the same time however, this secures the innovative strength and competitiveness of our Company. We perceive our extensive quality management as a contribution towards making our Company fit for the future.
