We expanded our distribution portfolio with two important raw materials to produce rubber chemicals: cyclohexylamine (CHA) and dicyclohexylamine (DCHA). China has the largest installed production capacity, but due to strong demand and strict environmental policies the supply situation is tight. Our partner is a leading producer in China with a proven track record of manufacturing specialty amines. We are delighted to start deliveries of CHA and DCHA in February 2018.

From today on we are operating under the new name of XENOPS Chemicals. The motivation for the name change is a significant enhancement of the company’s product and service portfolio. In addition to expanding its distribution portfolio of specialty chemicals, XENOPS Chemicals now offers a new range of services, covering the entire procurement value chain from supply risk analysis, to strategy development, to concept implementation, to performance measurement.

Providing guidance in complex procurement markets

“Today’s procurement markets are complex and dynamic. You need to understand these markets to mitigate supply risks, achieve savings and become more successful,” explains Dr. Oliver Rhode, Managing Director at XENOPS Chemicals. “We now make use of our 25 years of experience in various procurement markets to offer guidance to our customers. We are convinced that XENOPS Chemicals can lead to success in securing raw materials because we now support our customers along the complete value chain of procurement.”
