Scott Bader Joins Forces with Biesterfeld

The global manufacturer has secured Biesterfeld’s support within two segments – CASE and Performance Products – across different regions, where the group will take its resins, gelcoats and acrylic dispersions to market. Specifically focusing on Scott Bader’s composite and adhesives range, as well as functional polymers used widely in coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE), Biesterfeld will be working with customers across a number of industrial markets on Scott Bader’s behalf – covering everything from building & construction through to land transportation and pipe relining.

With both companies being operational some 100 years and benefiting from a strong family influence on either side, the partnership was naturally forged. As an employee-owned organisation Scott Bader’s unique structure and charitable arm means that the group has to be especially scrupulous when it comes to building its network. Ensuring that any new arrangements reflect a similar sustainability stance, code of practice and shared values. As part of the Biesterfeld Group, Biesterfeld Spezialchemie offers extensive market knowledge and tailor-made, application-based technical advice across eight business units, including CASE and Performance Products, and is active worldwide.

The Performance Products segment consists of three divisions; Composites & Tooling, Adhesives & Lubricants, as well as Electric, Electronic & Energy. The specialty offerings and tailor-made solutions enhance the performance of industrial and consumer products worldwide, improve production processes and application properties.

Biesterfelds’ CASE segment offers additives for coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers for a broad spectrum of applications and has a specialist sales team represented all over Europe.

On the composites side, Biesterfeld will be responsible for Scott Bader’s premium Crestafire FST resins and Crestapol urethane acrylate resins, as well as its Crystic resins and gelcoats, Crestomer urethane acrylate structural adhesives and Crestafix bonding pastes and will be responsible for the DACH region. In parallel, Biesterfeld’s CASE segment will drive sales of Scott Bader’s Texipol rheology modifiers, Crestacryl solvent acrylic resins, Crestakyd alkyd resins and Texicryl acrylic dispersions and will be responsible for DACH, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Spain, Portugal, and the Baltic States.
