LEUNA-Tenside, one of the world’s leading medium-sized suppliers of specialty surfactants, has concluded a partnership agreement with OQEMA. Going forward, the chemical distributor will be LEUNA’s distribution partner for eastern European markets, including Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. This allows LEUNA-Tenside to benefit from the OQEMA Group’s strong European network and knowledge of the market. Meanwhile, LEUNA-Tenside’s broad product range is a welcome addition to OQEMA’s portfolio and is an additional component of the chemical distributor’s European strategy.

LEUNA-Tenside’s standard products include the following product groups:
•    Non-ionic surfactants based on fatty alcohols, fatty acids, glycerides, and fatty amines
•    Anionic surfactants such as alkyl sulphonates and alkyl sulphonyl chlorides
•    Sodium isethionate and surfactants based on sodium isethionate such as methyltaurine and alkyl taurates
•    Medium- and long-chained chlorinated paraffins


The stated aim of OQEMA’s consulting and service-focused business strategy is to progressively ease the burden of distribution organization on chemical manufacturers and to procure more added value for them.
