STOCKMEIER Chemie

What STOCKMEIER Chemie does

STOCKMEIER Chemie is a German specialty chemical distribution company operating as the core chemical distribution entity within the family-owned STOCKMEIER Holding SE group, headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany. Founded in 1921, the company distributes a multi-segment specialty chemicals portfolio to industrial B2B customers across Europe, with primary end-markets in personal care and cosmetics, CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers), home care, automotive fluids (notably AdBlue via the NOXy brand), and industrial manufacturing including hot-dip galvanizing. The company functions as a value-add intermediary between global chemical manufacturers and downstream formulators, providing not just logistics and warehousing but also regulatory compliance support under REACH, technical application services through the "House of Innovations" laboratory facility, and formulation guidance.

The company's business model is B2B transaction-based distribution. Pricing is quote-based under EXW Incoterms (2020), with no publicly listed price list. Revenue mechanics flow from a combination of direct enterprise sales relationships and partner-mediated distribution, with the company acting as a channel partner for major global manufacturers including Evonik, Dow, Eastman, Ashland, AdvanSix, Scott Bader, BRB International, Almatis, and several oleochemical and specialty ingredient producers. Beyond pure distribution, STOCKMEIER Chemie operates proprietary product lines including the ACEMATT series of matting agents, GlossTec car-wash solutions, and STAUBCO industrial coating systems, alongside digital services such as the MYSTOCKMEIER customer portal and the COATINO CAMPUS coatings-industry platform.

The group operates an extensive European footprint through wholly-owned and majority-owned regional subsidiaries in Germany, Austria, Switzerland (KEMTAN AG), France, Netherlands, Belgium/Luxembourg, Poland, Spain (STOCKMEIER Química), and Italy (Gamma Chimica). Recent strategic activity has been acquisitive: the group acquired Synerlogic in January 2025, a majority stake in Intercoat Specialties SL in December 2024, and Creamy Creation in October 2025, extending into food and beverage ingredients. A 2023 restructuring consolidated three German entities into a single distribution company, and a new industrial site in Spain opened in June 2026. The group is led by CEO Dr. Arthur Jaunich (appointed September 2023) under Chairman of the Management Board Oliver Rechtsprecher, with the parent holding company represented by Peter-August Stockmeier, Dr. Uwe Damrau, and Matthias Vogt.
