OQEMA Group, a German chemical distributor has acquired hardeners and lacquers manufacturer ACC Beku.
Founded in 1922, OQEMA is one of the top ten chemical distributors in Europe. The company is identifying opportunities for growth, seizing them and further expanding its presence in Europe with determination.
ACC BEKU was established in 1922 and operates in the manufacturing and sale of special chemical products. The company is based in Edenkoben and has another plant in Hassloch. It specialises in manufacturing and bottling hardeners, lacquers and other chemicals that are used in many areas of everyday life.
The company will become part of the OQEMA Group on 1 June 2022 as an independent subsidiary called OQEMIQS.
ACC BEKU is a fantastic gain for the OQEMA Group not only because of its manufacturing, bottling and production of individual packaging, but also because of its value-added service – which is similarly embedded deep within the OQEMA DNA.
‘When it receives special requests, it searches for solutions that help the customer, just like OQEMA does,’ said Hartmut Kunz, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at the OQEMA Group.
‘By acquiring ACC BEKU, we are not only combining the 100 years of expertise that both companies have, but also expanding our range of services so that we can offer customers added value,’ he added.
Sabrina Kunz, will continue managing the business of OQEMIQS as Managing Director and feels highly confident about the future: ‘Particularly with the OQEMA Group’s European network and expertise on one hand and OQEMIQS’ focus on value-added services on the other, we have two business models that are an excellent strategic complement to each other and make us feel very positive about the future.’
