Bodo Möller Chemie Merges with Adhesive Specialist
The German Bodo Möller Chemie Group announced its merger with General Adhesivos SLU, expanding its business in Spain and Portugal, and enlarging its adhesive expertise in industrial applications in the area. With the takeover of the Spanish distributor in October of this year, the Bodo Möller Chemie Group has also expanded by an additional adhesive laboratory. In addition to the already existing Adhesive Competence Center (ACC) in Poland, which performs chemical adhesive analyses as well as static and dynamic FEM calculations of adhesive bonds with reduction simulations, the laboratory in Spain offers mechanical plastic analyses and process simulations. The headquarters of General Adhesivos in Alforja, Spain, is close to the industrial centers of Tarragona and Barcelona.
“This merger is an essential component for us to demonstrate our own expertise on the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, we expand our overall know-how through the team and the laboratory of General Adhesivos, pursuing a pan-European approach and a general organic growth strategy in this way solely through the two laboratories in Poland and Spain,” said Frank Haug, chairman of the board at the Bodo Möller Chemie Group. Both adhesive laboratories of the Bodo Möller Chemie Group are certified according to the Fraunhofer IFAM and can therefore prepare companies for audits according to DIN 6701.
