International. Evonik Industries reported that shell MDS (Malaysia) has named it as a new partner in the distribution of gas-to-liquid (GTL Hardwaxes) Hardwaxes in South America.
Based on a successful distribution partnership, in Europe, since 1996, by which Evonik managed to increase sales of Shell Hardwaxes GTL under the brand name "Shell GTL Sarawax", Evonik's territory is now expanding, as of April 1, 2015. It is Shell's second term for Evonik for GTL Hardwaxes following its announcement in the South American region earlier this year.
Shell's decision to name Evonik as its new distribution partner in the growing South American market builds on existing infrastructure, with local warehouses, as well as a dedicated sales force and customer service in the region.
"The expansion of our distribution partnership with Shell reconfirms the understanding that we are an expert solution provider for our customers in the adhesives & sealants industry," said Dr. Dietmar Wewers, Senior Vice President of Evonik's Coating & Adhesive Resins Business Line. "In addition to offering technical expertise and a broad portfolio of products for adhesives & sealants, Shell especially values the intimacy we have with our customers, as well as access to the growing wax markets in South America."
