Ingevity Corporation has announced the expansion of its Capa caprolactone distribution network by establishing Biesterfeld Polychem S.r.l. as its distributor for the Italy market and Biesterfeld Özel Kimyasallar Ticaret A.Ş. (Biesterfeld) as its distributor for the Turkey market. Biesterfeld will leverage the company’s global technical sales and marketing networks in Italy and Turkey to maximize the sales of Ingevity’s Capa caprolactone products.

 

Biesterfeld, a leading international specialty chemicals distributor in Europe, North Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia, replaces Reschem as Ingevity’s distributor in Italy. Naming Biesterfeld as Ingevity’s new distributor will maintain the service level in Italy and introduce service specific to customers in Turkey.

 

“We are excited to establish a local distribution presence in Turkey to offer sales and service support in the same language as our customers,” said Joel Neale, commercial director for Ingevity’s Advanced Polymer Technologies business. “Establishing a partnership with Biesterfeld enables us to better serve our customers in Italy and Turkey by shortening lead times and increasing inventory, and further demonstrates Ingevity’s commitment to expanding our Capa business in the region.”

 

“We are thrilled to establish a relationship with Ingevity,” said Marco Milani at Biesterfeld Polychem. “Ingevity possesses a strong portfolio of specialty chemistries, and we are well positioned to promote these technologies to our customers throughout Italy.”

 

“We are enthusiastic about partnering with Ingevity to bring their exceptional technology to our market,” said Handan Taskin Zorlu at Biesterfeld Özel Kimyasallar Ticaret A.Ş. “We look forward to improving the availability of Ingevity’s quality products for our Turkish customers.”

 

Effective April 21, 2023, these agreements will increase the availability of Ingevity’s Capa caprolactone portfolio.
