Evonik expands VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates distribution partnership with IMCD into the U.S., strengthening market reach, technical support, and customer access.
Evonik Industries has announced the expansion of its strategic distribution collaboration with IMCD for its VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates portfolio, extending the partnership into the United States. The two companies have already established a successful distribution relationship in Brazil and Canada, where IMCD has supported the availability and technical application of Evonik’s methacrylate-based products. Building on that foundation, the latest agreement enables IMCD to broaden its role by distributing VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates across the U.S., strengthening product accessibility and customer support within one of the world’s largest specialty chemicals markets.
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates represent a versatile product range developed to support numerous high-performance applications across various industries. These specialty monomers are widely utilized in coatings, adhesives and sealants, construction materials, composite systems, and polymer synthesis processes. Through their performance-enhancing characteristics—such as improved durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance—these materials help manufacturers create advanced formulations tailored to demanding industrial and commercial requirements. By expanding the distribution network in the United States, Evonik aims to ensure that customers can more easily access these materials while also benefiting from enhanced technical guidance and formulation expertise.
The extended partnership also reflects a shared focus on delivering value to customers through a combination of reliable product supply, formulation knowledge, and technical support. IMCD, known for its global specialty chemicals distribution network, brings strong market expertise and close relationships with formulators and manufacturers. Through this collaboration, the company will provide customers with dedicated support in selecting and integrating VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates into their product development processes. This includes technical consultation, application guidance, and assistance with optimizing formulations to meet specific performance and regulatory requirements.
Muge Tamkan, Vice President of Coatings & Construction for the Americas at IMCD, emphasized that the company’s priority is to deliver tangible value to its customers through partnerships with leading suppliers and by offering reliable technical expertise. According to Tamkan, the expansion of the collaboration with Evonik strengthens IMCD’s ability to support formulators seeking high-performance methacrylate solutions. She noted that the partnership not only improves access to VISIOMER® products but also enhances the company’s capacity to provide application know-how and tailored solutions for customers across the United States. Tamkan added that IMCD looks forward to further developing the partnership and continuing to create long-term value for customers in the region.
From Evonik’s perspective, the expanded partnership aligns with its broader commitment to delivering high-quality specialty materials while improving service and accessibility for its customers. Joao Souza, Head of Specialty Methacrylates for the Americas at Evonik, stated that the company remains dedicated to offering premium products alongside reliable technical and commercial support. He expressed confidence that working more closely with IMCD in the United States will enable Evonik to serve customers more effectively and reinforce its presence in the regional market.
Souza also highlighted that the strengthened partnership builds on the proven success of the companies’ collaboration in Brazil and Canada. By extending the distribution network into the United States, Evonik expects to reach a wider customer base while maintaining the high level of service and expertise that customers have come to expect. Both companies believe the expanded agreement will create new opportunities for growth, innovation, and customer engagement within the specialty methacrylates sector.
