Azelis, an innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industries, has entered a new distribution agreement with Sun Chemical, an inks, coatings, pigments, and advanced materials company. The agreement went into effect January 1, 2023. The mandate strengthens Azelis’ portfolio of pigment products in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), and advanced materials & additives (AM&A) markets in France and Benelux. It includes the pigment portfolio that Sun Chemical acquired from BASF in 2021, and is an expansion of the long-standing partnership between Sun Chemical and Azelis.

“We are happy to grow our relationship with Sun Chemical, covering France and Benelux now,” said Christian Pflesser, market segment director AM&A EMEA at Azelis. “By including a new range of pigments in our portfolio that complements our current offering to the customers, we enhance both our lateral value chain and a leading position in the industry. With this new suite of pigments, Sun Chemical enables our teams to deliver our brand promise – innovation through formulation – to the fullest.”
