Archroma has progressively acquired 75 per cent shares of the M Dohmen group. Archroma and M Dohmen are now free to operate as partners. Archroma, based in Switzerland, is a global leader in color and specialty chemicals. It operates with 3,000 employees over 35 countries and with 24 production sites. Its three businesses – Brand & Performance Textile Specialties, Packaging and Paper Specialties, and Coatings, Adhesives and Sealants – deliver specialized performance and color solutions to meet customers’ needs.
M Dohmen, also based in Switzerland, specializes in the production of textile dyes and chemicals for the automotive, carpet and apparel sectors. M Dohmen serves textile markets worldwide from production facilities in Switzerland, Germany and Korea, and maintains sales organizations in the US, Korea, Germany, Italy and China.
The stronger ties between Archroma and M Dohmen will allow both companies to make the most of a product portfolio in which they ideally complement each other, especially in the area of dyes and chemicals for synthetic fibers and wool, including for the automotive sector. They have a shared commitment to customer focus, innovation, world-class quality standards, high service levels, cost-efficiency and sustainability. So they can exploit further synergies between their production capabilities, product portfolio and competitive positioning.
