Frankfurt/Bielefeld, January 16, 2026 – Following the announcement earlier this year regarding the extension of their collaboration, Almatis GmbH and Stockmeier Chemicals / Bassermann Minerals are pleased to further strengthen their long-standing partnership.
On March 25, 2026, the Ceramitec fair in Munich provided the ideal setting for Almatis and Stockmeier Chemicals & Bassermann Minerals GmbH & Co. KG to announce the expansion of their distribution cooperation in Europe to France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. With this step, the partners now offer a fully aligned distribution structure across Europe.
“Earlier this year, we took an important step forward together. With this expansion, we are now completing the picture across Europe,” said Justine Verfaillie, Senior Sales Director, Europe, Americas & Japan, Almatis. “It means our customers can expect the same reliable service, anywhere, anytime, every time.”
Dirk Seidel, Managing Director Stockmeier Chemie GmbH & Co. KG added: “Our partnership with Almatis has grown steadily over the years. This next step just feels like a natural continuation, and one that allows us to serve our customers even better across the region.”
Almatis’ portfolio includes well-established brands such as ECO-TAB®, GILOX, RAPOL, ULTIMATE, and ThermaFill, among others. The expanded cooperation marks an important step in strengthening the market presence of both companies across Europe. By combining their expertise and complementary product portfolios, Almatis and its distribution partners aim to create added value for customers through a broader and more consistent offering across the region.
