AOC Aliancys (Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and Collierville, Tenn., U.S.) announces that effective March 3, 2020, subsidiary AOC (UK) Ltd (Manningtree, U.K.) will be acquired by resin supplier BÜFA Composite Systems (Rastede, Germany) and will operate under the name of BÜFA Composites UK. AOC Aliancys will remain the supplier of the resins portfolio.
AOC (UK) Ltd. has been a leading U.K. supplier of composites products with more than 25 years of experience in providing resin distribution and formulation services, and has been selling resins for the U.S.-based resin company AOC LLC. With the change in ownership, AOC (UK) Ltd. and the existing BÜFA Composites UK Distribution entity will be combined into one company.
“This acquisition will give our U.K. customers better access to quality products,” says Felix Thalmann, CEO of the BÜFA Group. “The new company will strengthen our capability to support our customers in the right way, and is a solid basis for their continued business growth.”
“BÜFA Composite Systems has been our long-standing partner for many years,” says Fons Harbers, vice president of marketing and sales EMEA at AOC Aliancys. “We are excited about the extended collaboration with BÜFA. We are confident that we will be able to provide our customers in the U.K. with an even better service as a result of the change.”
