Azelis announced an expanded partnership with Arxada in France for industrial applications. Effective immediately, Azelis will distribute Arxada’s portfolio of industrial biocides and coating additives in France.

The agreement extends the companies’ existing collaboration into industrial market segments, covering coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers, as well as chemicals. Azelis said the expansion builds on collaboration across multiple regions and extends the scope of activities in France beyond life sciences into industrial applications.

Customers in France will have access to Arxada’s industrial biocides and coating additives, supported by Azelis’s local technical and regulatory expertise. Azelis said the agreement is particularly relevant for biocides, which it described as a highly regulated product category.

“This extension reflects the strength of our partnership with Arxada and the capabilities of our French teams. By combining our technical expertise, particularly in biocides, with our strong customer network, we are well-positioned to support growth in the paints and coatings market and deliver value to customers,” said Christian Pflesser, market segment director advanced materials and additives and CASE at Azelis EMEA.

“Our collaboration with Azelis continues to deliver strong results across multiple regions. Expanding into the French industrial market allows us to build on this momentum, reaching manufacturers with our innovative product technologies and solutions, supported by Azelis’s technical expertise and customer relationships,” said Beatriz Cid, senior director of sales EMEA, paints and coatings at Arxada.

The companies said the expanded agreement reflects their track record across DACH, Benelux, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Greece and Ukraine.
