DKSH has entered into an agreement to acquire Melbourne-based Tiger Chemicals Company, which will be integrated into DKSH’s business unit Performance Materials.
With this transaction, Performance Materials, a leading specialty chemicals distributor, gains access to several hundred customers and a sales team with more than 30 years of experience in specialty chemicals distribution. The takeover of Tiger Chemicals Company strengthens DKSH’s footprint in Australia enabling further growth thanks to an expanded customer base. Moreover, it enables the company, headquarted in Switzerland, to extend its activities to New Zealand through established sales channels, offering an even better market coverage in Asia Pacific to its existing and new clients. The owner of Tiger Chemicals Company, Rex Gordon, will continue to be actively involved in the business within DKSH Australia to ensure a smooth transfer of the business relationships. Established in 1988, Tiger Chemicals Company imports and distributes specialty chemicals, and partly own branded products.
