Arizona Chemical and Socer Brasil, two leading pine chemical manufacturers, have entered into a strategic technical and commercial cooperative dialogue to expand their geographical coverage and bring new technologies to market.
“We have been working together for several months now, identifying markets where our cooperation has the potential to bring value to our respective customer bases,” explained Gary Reed, Arizona Chemical’s Vice President and General Manager - Americas. “As our relationship grows, we expect to expand on that cooperation.”
Initially, Arizona Chemical and Socer Brasil will focus on expanding offerings into Latin America on select Arizona Chemical product lines within the adhesives and inks markets.
“Together, we can provide the region with the most comprehensive set of solutions available in the adhesives and inks markets,” noted Paulo Roberto Seixas, Managing Director, Socer Brasil.
The two companies are exploring additional ways to capitalize on Socer’s strength as Latin America’s largest producer of gum rosin and turpentine derivatives.
