Bodo Möller Chemie Group has entered into exclusive discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Rocktin's distribution activities, aiming to further increase its strategic growth in Asia. According to Bodo Möller Chemie, the acquisition represents a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing mission to expand its reach in the specialty chemical distribution sector, reinforcing its product offerings across the APAC region.
The acquisition would enable Bodo Möller Chemie to integrate most of Rocktin’s distribution operations, offering an opportunity to extend its product portfolio and deepen partnerships with key principals in Asia. Bodo Möller Chemie indicated that the collaboration will harness the complementary strengths of both companies, positioning the company as a premier distributor of adhesives and specialty chemicals in the region. Additionally, Rocktin customers would gain access to a global network and enhanced technical support through Bodo Möller Chemie’s newly inaugurated laboratory facilities in Shanghai, providing state-of-the-art testing and formulation services.
"This acquisition aligns perfectly with our growth strategy, allowing us to reinforce our presence in Asia and enhance the support we provide to both our partners and customers," said Frank Haug, CEO of Bodo Möller Chemie Group. "We are constantly exploring strategic opportunities worldwide to position ourselves as the leading distributor in specialty chemicals. The integration with Rocktin will be a pivotal step in strengthening our market position in APAC, and we are thrilled to bring together the expertise and innovation of both companies."
Upon completion, the combined entity will establish a strong foothold across several Asian markets, including China, Vietnam, and neighboring countries, with projected revenues exceeding $100 million. Finalization of the transaction is anticipated in the second quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals and final agreement terms.
