INTERPOLYMER has been acquired by Zschimmer & Schwarz. By this transaction, INTERPOLYMER becomes part of a strong specialty chemicals manufacturer group while it’s legal presence in the market remains unchanged.
Company founder, Norwin Wolff as well as Siegfried Gillich, Vice President Europe, see the acquisition as a sign of continuity: "With the family owned Zschimmer & Schwarz group, we found a new partner who will maintain the focus of our business on supplying high quality polymers along with extensive technical support and close customer contact".
Zschimmer & Schwarz, a family owned business founded in 1894, with headquarters in Germany, develops and produces high performance chemical auxiliaries for the leather, fur, ceramic, textile and fibre industries as well as for cosmetics, cleaning applications and phosphonates. With the INTERPOLYMER acquisition, a seventh division is added offering synergies, to the leather, fur, ceramic and textile auxiliaries as well as care specialities divisions. Including the latest acquisition, the Zschimmer & Schwarz group comprises 28 companies worldwide, 19 of them with their own production facilities.
Martin Haberl, the new president of INTERPOLYMER and one of the general managers of Zschimmer & Schwarz Chemie, points out: "We are pleased that the Wolff family has chosen Zschimmer & Schwarz, and that Norwin Wolff will continue to support us with his vast knowledge and experience. INTERPOLYMER matches very well with Zschimmer & Schwarz in many aspects. We are therefore very optimistic for our combined future“.
The legal entity INTERPOLYMER, “Creative Polymer Solutions”, will remain unchanged. This also applies for all operation facilities including representatives and contact persons.
