AOC, Büfa Composites expands partnership network to Sweden

AOC (Schaffhausen, Switzerland) and Büfa (Rastede, Germany) are expanding an existing collaboration in distribution to Sweden through Büfa Composites Nordics. This agreement will enable customers in the region to have better access to a broad range of quality resins, gelcoats and ancillary materials.

Büfa Composite Systems has been purchasing resins from AOC for more than 50 years, processing them into tailor-made reactive resin specialties and complete solutions. In addition, the companies have a long-standing sales and distribution partnership in numerous European countries. The comprehensive distribution network in Europe includes Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Baltic States, Spain and Portugal, Belgium, Netherland, Finland, Great Britain and Ireland.

In April 2023, the collaboration was expanded to cover Austria and Southeast Europe. Now, the successful cooperation with AOC is extended in the Scandinavian market. Moving forward, Büfa and AOC’s portfolios are not only available in Finland, but also in Sweden through Büfa Composites Nordics Oy.

“This initiative underlines the joint commitment to sustainability and providing innovative solutions for the composites industry,“ underlines Fons Harbers, vice president of marketing and sales EMEA for AOC. “We have proven many times that customers can successfully grow their business, building on the support from our combined companies.“

At Büfa Composites Nordics Oy, Sami Partio will continue to support customers In Finland, while Olle Johnsson will take on the new responsibility for the distribution business in Sweden, and for Büfa specialties in Norway. Both bring deep market knowledge and expertise to best serve the needs of customers in their respective countries.
