DKSH will also offer business development, marketing, sales and logistics for Kronos’ TiO₂ pigments. DKSH is a distributor of specialty chemicals and ingredients. Kronos’ TiO₂ is a white pigment that plays a key role in the production of paints and coatings, plastics, papers, and fibers. It also plays a crucial role in specialties such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, glass, and ceramics.

Kronos has entrusted DKSH to grow its specialty chemicals business in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the Philippines. It follows their successful partnership in Portugal since 2017 and Spain since 2015. This is thanks to DKSH’s extensive distribution network, strong capabilities in marketing and sales, and logistics in the region.

Alessandro Pedemonte, vice president, Sales MEAA, Kronos, said, “We are very pleased to build on our established collaboration in Europe and expand into Asia Pacific where DKSH has been a leader in the distribution of industrial chemicals for a very long time. We are confident that this extended partnership will deliver mutual and sustainable growth to both companies in all the four countries.” Atul Nagarkar, vice president, Global Specialty Chemicals Industry, DKSH, said, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Kronos to cover four new markets in Asia Pacific.
