What Bremer & Leguil does

Bremer & Leguil GmbH is a German specialty chemicals company founded in 1967 and headquartered in Duisburg, Germany. The company manufactures and distributes industrial lubricants, cleaners, corrosion protection products, application equipment, and — most recently — adhesives and sealants under the Rivolta, CASSIDA, VITROLIS, antidot, RivoGLUE, and Loxeal brands. It holds NSF ISO 21469, Kosher, and Halal certifications enabling entry into food, pharmaceutical, beverage, cosmetics, and animal feed applications, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 management system certifications.

The company's go-to-market is built on a direct enterprise field-sales motion: 40+ sales specialists cover Germany on-site, providing application consulting, hazardous-substance substitution support, HACCP analysis, and custom formulation services. Internationally, distribution is channeled through FUCHS Lubricants' subsidiary network across roughly 25 countries. The SAP-integrated i-Store platform provides digital procurement for existing customers. Bremer & Leguil serves 14 industrial verticals including plant engineering, automotive, railway, glass, wind energy, photovoltaic, food, and municipal utilities.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time product sales, private-label contract manufacturing, and custom special-product development, with pricing set via consultation rather than public listing. The company has no disclosed funding events, no parent company, and operates as an independent private GmbH under Managing Director Frank Schnipper. While no public revenue figure is available, the 51–100 employee base and Germany-centric specialty chemicals distribution model are consistent with an established mid-market industrial supplier.
