LANXESS Co’s. Material Protection Products (MPP) business unit has expanded partnerships with Lintech International, Omya Specialty Minerals, and DKSH for increased distribution of industrial preservatives in North America. The agreements increase the distributors’ portfolios into the Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomer (CASE) markets. This partnership is in addition to LANXESS’ acquisition of IFF’s microbial control business in July 2022. All three distributors now represent LANXESS’ full industrial preservatives portfolio for these markets.
Previous IFF microbial control distributors Lintech International and Omya Specialty Minerals will add LANXESS flagship brands such as Preventol to their portfolios that already include well-known brands such as KATHON. Lintech will cover the Southeastern United States up to New England, and Omya will service the Midwestern U.S.
DKSH (DBA Terra Firma in the U.S.) previously distributed LANXESS industrial preservatives in the Western U.S. and will now add the acquired IFF microbial control products to their portfolio. They will also extend their territory to cover Canada.
“As the integration of the IFF microbial control business progresses, we are delighted to extend our distribution networks to encompass our complete range of industrial preservatives with these dedicated partners,” said Bill Rohrer, U.S. head of sales for LANXESS’ MPP Industrial business line. “The new additions will position them for success in delivering more comprehensive solutions to meet our customers' industrial preservation needs.”
