Nalco expand relationship and become Exclusive Distributor of Evonik Goldschmidt's Tissue Chemicals in Central and South America

Nalco Company and Evonik's Goldschmidt Industrial Specialties announced that they will expand their co-operation and Nalco will now also be the exclusive distributor of Evonik's tissue additives in Central and South America. In July 2006, Nalco became the exclusive distributor of Evonik's tissue products in Europe and an agency agreement between the companies covering the United States, Canada and Mexico was finalised in February 2007.

Evonik's range includes products marketed under the following brands: AROSURF PA, VARISOFT, Z-QUAT, REWOQUAT and TEGOPREN and are complemented by Nalco's strong range of process chemicals and their excellent service model at paper mills. This further strengthens Nalco's position in tissue chemicals and further challenges Hercules' leadership position in this market segment.
