SI Group, a globally recognized leader in the development and manufacture of performance additives, process solutions, pharmaceuticals, and chemical intermediates, has announced a strategic partnership with Azelis aimed at broadening its distribution network across the EMEA region for plastics additives. This partnership, which will officially take effect on January 1, 2026, is designed to expand SI Group’s market reach while ensuring that customers receive tailored solutions supported by local expertise and service. In parallel, SI Group will continue to collaborate with Brenntag, a distribution partner trusted since 2005, in select countries, maintaining continuity where their established presence provides significant market value.
The decision to collaborate with both Azelis and Brenntag was made strategically to leverage the strengths of each partner in their respective markets. By utilizing their extensive sales networks, technical knowledge, and warehousing capabilities, SI Group aims to provide customers with enhanced access to products and improved support services. This dual-distributor model ensures comprehensive coverage and allows SI Group to respond more efficiently to customer needs throughout the diverse and complex EMEA region.
Under this new distribution strategy, Azelis will cover the Nordic countries, Baltic states, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, the UK and Ireland, as well as the Balkan region. Brenntag, on the other hand, will focus on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Maghreb countries, and South Africa. This clear delineation ensures that each distributor can focus on markets where they offer the greatest impact, providing SI Group’s customers with both technical support and logistical efficiency.
