Bodo Möller Chemie Group Expands Business Activities in West Africa
The Bodo Möller Chemie Group has expanded its business activities on the African continent. The group has been supplying the West African market with its own warehouse in Lagos, Nigeria, since last year. From there, the company provides specialty chemicals, such as adhesives, resins, additives, and fillers from leading chemical manufacturers to large and small customers in the paints and varnishes, coatings, printing inks, plastics industry, metal pre-treatment, and DIY sectors with its own logistics.
Nigeria, along with other West African countries, is considered an industrial growth zone, especially for the plastics industry, wall and façade paints, and DIY sectors. However, long supply chains for imports from abroad can be problematic due to the lengthy customs and import procedures. For this reason, the Bodo Möller Chemie Group has taken over the local warehousing of standard resins, additives, and pigments for the paints and coatings industry, helping the local industry to react more quickly to market requirements.
