Bodo Möller Chemie Consolidates Presence in Spain
The Bodo Möller Chemie Group announced that on June 1, 2025, the company integrated the client base of Spanish specialty chemicals distributor Química Tecnológica Norte S.L. (Quitec) into its distribution network. Quitec is a long-standing distribution partner of Henkel’s in industrial surface treatment. Bodo Möller Chemie reports that the acquisition is proactively reinforcing its market position in Spain while intensifying its strategic partnership with Henkel.
The increase in demand for sustainable, process-oriented solutions in surface treatment requires a local presence, technical expertise, and strong partnerships. In view of this situation, the Bodo Möller Chemie Group is continuing its growth trajectory while integrating client contacts from the distribution network established by Henkel's long-standing partner Quitec. Based in San Sebastián, Spain, the company specializes in the distribution of specialty chemical products for industrial applications. Its portfolio contains items such as industrial cleaning agents and paint pretreatment products. One focus is on marketing the Henkel brand Bonderite, which provides process-optimizing solutions in surface technology — from cleaning and metal pretreatment through to maintenance and corrosion protection. The products are primarily used in paint and degreasing systems, by metal finishers, and in the manufacturing industry.
As part of the acquisition, Bodo Möller Chemie is also taking over existing business relationships and actively strengthening them to consolidate its market presence in surface treatments and further solidify its close working relationship with Henkel. “Quitec has established itself as a reliable partner on the market and boasts strong client retention,” said Lionel Breuilly, managing director of Bodo Möller Chemie Spain. “We not only aim to maintain this retention but also reinforce it strategically through technical expertise and tailor-made solutions.”
The acquisition is part of the company’s long-term expansion strategy of offering its clients solutions tailored to their specific needs by leveraging regional proximity, technical applications expertise, and strong brands. By expanding its operations in Spain, the company underscores its role as a solutions partner for specialty chemicals. “Northern Spain represents an industrial growth market, where this acquisition brings us even closer to our clients. With Henkel as a strong partner and Bonderite offering an innovative, sustainable solution, we’ll be providing an impressive complete package moving forward, combining product quality and applications expertise,” states Frank Haug, CEO of the Bodo Möller Chemie Group.
