D.O.G.

What D.O.G. does

D.O.G. (legal name: D.O.G Deutsche Oelfabrik Gesellschaft für chemische Erzeugnisse mbH & Co. KG) is a specialty chemical additives manufacturer headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, founded in 1906 and operating continuously for approximately 120 years. The company develops and produces performance additives for five industrial verticals: rubber processing (D.O.GUM), lubricants (D.O.LUBE), coatings (D.O.COAT), adhesives and sealants (D.O.TACK), and plastics (D.O.PLAST). Its technical core is oleochemistry with specialization in sulfur and phosphorus chemistry, and it emphasizes renewable, plant-based raw materials (e.g., vegetable oils in factice and castor oil in matting/soft-touch additives). Notable proprietary technology includes in-house production of silane-based adhesion promoters (Deolink silanes) with custom modifications and specialty products such as Deostab N, a moisture management additive for sulfur-crosslinked EPDM formulations.

The product portfolio spans processing additives, vulcanization chemicals, homogenizing and tackifying resins, light- and ozone-protection waxes, vulcanization stabilizers, moisture absorbers, factice, silanes, EP (extreme pressure) and AW (anti-wear) additives, corrosion protection media, multifunctional and antioxidant lubricant additives, matting and soft-touch additives, and silane preparations for cables and plastics. An in-house chemical laboratory and technical centre underpin customer-specific formulation work and application consulting.

D.O.G. operates a B2B specialty chemicals revenue model, selling quote-based (pricing not publicly disclosed) to industrial manufacturers. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales and video application consulting from Hamburg with a global network of local distribution partners — including Anyking in China — that provide on-site support for purchasing, production, and R&D functions. The company is privately held as a GmbH & Co. KG with approximately 11-50 employees, participates in the Responsible Care chemical industry initiative, and does not disclose revenue.
