What Akemi does

AKEMI chemisch technische Spezialfabrik GmbH is a German specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1933 in Dresden by Erich Höntsch and currently headquartered in Nuremberg. The company develops and produces professional-grade chemical products based on polyester, epoxy, polyurethane and epoxy acrylate resins for three end markets: stone chemistry (Steinchemie), automotive chemistry (Autochemie) and industrial applications. Core product lines include the AKEPOX family of 2-component structural adhesives (e.g., AKEPOX 2040, 5010, 2030, Panel Adhesive 7030), the AKENOVA elastic polyhybrid adhesives, MARMORKITT stone-structure fillers, PLATINUM knife-grade adhesives, CERAMIC Smart Repair color-matching kits, and a full range of sealants, cleaners and protective coatings including the Pure Trace Technology-based Stain Repellent Super.

The company's revenue model is one-time sale of chemical products (containers of varying sizes) sold through a mix of direct B2B sales in Germany, wholly-owned regional subsidiaries (USA, Brazil, Turkey, India, China) and authorized distributors covering more than 90 countries. Pricing is quote-based B2B with no public list prices, and AKEMI also offers customized formulations to large industrial customers. The end-customer base is fragmented across professional users — stone fabricators, masons, tile installers, monument restorers, natural stone care specialists and auto body shops — supplemented by reference projects in heritage, religious and cultural construction (e.g., Great Mosque of Algiers, Fondation Louis Vuitton, MAS Museum Antwerp, Anoopam Mission Temple).

AKEMI is privately held with no institutional investor involvement disclosed; the company is managed by Torsten Hamann and Dr. Dirk C. Hamann as Managing Directors. The firm holds international patents on key formulations (MARMORKITT 1000, AKS polishing line), is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and has obtained an Environmental Product Declaration for AKEPOX Panel Adhesive 7030 enabling specification in DGNB, BNB, BREEAM and LEED-certified green building projects. No revenue, headcount or funding figures are publicly disclosed.
