Wilhelmsen Chemicals takes over Kemetyl’s sales and marketing activities for consumer products in Norway

“We look forward to including Kemetyl’s sales and marketing team. This will secure a sound foundation for future growth within our cleaning portfolio,” says Thorstein Medhus, CEO at Wilhelmsen Chemicals. “We will work closely together to ensure that existing customers’ interests are safeguarded and that the transfer has positive effects for all.” Ola Tengroth, CEO and partner of Kemetyl Group says that the transfer of the sales and marketing team for consumer products enables the company to focus on its core markets. “I am proud of how we have developed our consumer segment in Norway, but it is necessary to conduct larger structural changes to ensure sustainable profitable growth.

Kemetyl’s Nordic Industry is not part of the transaction and will continue to grow within industry chemicals in Norway and the Nordic countries. The same applies to the company’s global businesses in Europe and the rest of the world.
