Fitz Chem, NAGASE Group supplies and manufactures specialty chemicals to these same markets in North America, with a focus on providing differentiated value-added capabilities to customers through technical proficiency and formulation expertise.

 

“The Fitz Chem team is excited to bring these innovative products to the customers we’ve served for a generation," said Tom Downing, Director of New Supplier Development at Fitz Chem, NAGASE Group. “VINAVIL is a world-class manufacturer with a rich tradition of customer intimacy. Our corporate cultures are very closely aligned, and we look forward to helping our customers bring innovative and high-performing products to market.”

“Today, customers using specialty polymers in the coatings and adhesives markets are seeking new technology products free from APEO and formaldehyde, polymers which would help them to make low-VOC products or help replace solvent-based technology products with water-based technology,” said Taako Brouwer, Global Managing Director, Vinavil S.p.A. This new distributorship provides the ability for new customers to discover VINAVIL’s products.
