SI Group Strengthens Its EMEA Distribution Network with Azelis Partnership
In a strategic move aimed at enhancing service delivery and broadening its client base, SI Group has announced a new partnership with Azelis, set to take effect on January 1, 2026. This collaboration will significantly expand SI Group's distribution network for plastic additives across the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region. Known worldwide for its exceptional performance additives, process solutions, and pharmaceutical products, SI Group’s alliance with Azelis comes as part of an ongoing effort to provide tailored solutions and localized support to its diverse clientele.
Enhanced Client Reach
The partnership with Azelis is designed to complement SI Group's longstanding relationship with Brenntag, a trusted distribution partner since 2005. Together, these distributors will ensure that SI Group’s clients have improved access to products and unparalleled support. While Brenntag will continue to operate in selected countries—specifically Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Maghreb countries, and South Africa—Azelis will cover the Nordic countries, Baltic states, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, the UK, Ireland, and the Balkans.
Strategic Selection of Partners
Robert Kaiser, Vice President of Polymer Solutions at SI Group, emphasizes that this alliance is a pivotal step in enhancing their commitment to delivering advanced solutions and exceptional value to clients within the EMEA region. The decision to partner with both Azelis and Brenntag was strategic; each distributor is known for its strong market influence and technical expertise in their respective territories. By leveraging their sales teams, technical knowledge, and storage capacities, SI Group is poised to enhance customer experience significantly.
Building Towards Future Growth
Kaiser further noted that this integration not only boosts immediate customer access but also lays the groundwork for future growth in the constantly evolving plastic industry. The dual distribution network will afford SI Group greater flexibility in meeting client needs while ensuring that they remain at the forefront of innovation and service excellence in the industry.
Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability
SI Group is not just expanding its reach; it is reinforcing its identity as a customer-centric partner. The company remains committed to investing in innovative solutions and initiatives that drive the industry forward sustainably. The partnership with Azelis is part of a broader initiative to enhance the company’s presence in the market while adhering to the principles of safety, sustainability, and extraordinary outcomes.
