TAG Chemicals

What TAG Chemicals does

TAG Chemicals GmbH is a privately held German specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bischofsheim, Germany, with a secondary administrative office in Dexheim. The company develops, produces, and markets process auxiliaries — release agents (Trennmittel), specialty additives, and lubricants (Schmierstoffe) — for industrial manufacturing operations across more than ten application areas including die casting foundries (Gießereien), composite materials, fiber-reinforced plastics (Faser-Kunststoff-Verbund), wood composites, rubber processing (Kautschuk), laminate production, tire manufacturing (Reifen), thermoplastics, polyurethane, and phenol resin processing. The company is led by Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) Andreas Kemper and operates without external institutional investment or a parent company.

Its core technology consists of proprietary chemical formulations tailored to specific process conditions rather than commodity chemistry. The portfolio includes high-performance release agents that enable demolding in die casting and tire production, additives for paper impregnation and phenol resin applications, and high-performance lubricants for industrial machinery and metal treatments. The "Fiberline" sub-brand represents its sustainable product line, offering environmental release agents for the wood industry, alongside dedicated environmental release agents for polyurethane processing. The company emphasizes custom formulation capabilities, qualified technical service support, and continuous product innovation as differentiators.

TAG Chemicals operates a direct B2B sales model, selling specialty chemicals ex-works from its Bischofsheim production facility to industrial manufacturers. Pricing is based on list prices effective at order confirmation, with standard 30-day payment terms after delivery, and the company positions itself as a technical partner addressing customer-specific process and formulation problems rather than a commodity supplier. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website (tag-chemicals.com), featuring downloadable product flyers per application area. No public revenue, financial disclosures, patents, or third-party certifications are evident from the source material.
