DKSH Business Unit Performance Materials announces considerable growth in the personal care industry in the US with important new partnerships and the expansion of its sales force.
Clariant, one of the world’s leading specialty chemical companies based in Switzerland, and DKSH recently decided to expand their existing collaboration in Asia and join forces in the US, where DKSH provides Market Expansion Services for Clariant’s Business Unit Industrial & Consumer Specialties, which includes preservatives, surfactants, rheology modifiers and polymers. These products are used in a broad range of skin and hair care products and will be distributed by DKSH throughout the Midwestern US. In addition, DKSH and Bluestar Silicones, a global silicones producer with over 50 years of expertise and a comprehensive portfolio have entered into a North American alliance that includes distribution to selected key accounts and regional distribution arrangements. IBR, a producer of proprietary, natural active ingredients for cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical products, extended the existing relationship and DKSH was appointed to distribute its specialty patent protected technological actives to a selected key account in the US.
