Rohm and Haas names CHEMCENTRAL US distributor for architectural and functional coatings
Rohm and Haas, Philadelphia, has moved to a single US distributor for its North American Architectural and Functional Coatings business effective January 1, 2007. CHEMCENTRAL, headquartered in Bedford Park, IL., will represent Rohm and Haas in the USA for the distribution of emulsion products while continuing to be the USA representative for Rohm and Haas's Paraloid brand product line. This move represents a renewed strategy for long-term growth in the distribution channel in cooperation with a strategic partner to achieve this goal.
In making the announcement, James Swanson, Vice President and General Manager of Architectural and Functional Coatings North America, said, “We are pleased to broaden our ten year plus relationship with CHEMCENTRAL. We're excited about the opportunities a singular alliance offers Rohm and Haas with respect to new market opportunities, new product introductions and long- term growth.”
John R. Yanney, CHEMCENTRAL President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The addition of Rohm and Haas products complements our portfolio for coatings and strengthens our position as a leading distributor of specialty chemicals. It also confirms our commitment to high-quality, responsive service, and to meeting the diverse needs of our customers and suppliers.”
