La Défense, November 7th 2024 – Safic-Alcan, a global distributor of specialty chemicals, announces the expansion of its long-standing partnership with SI Group, a global leader in performance additive technology.
Effective December 1st, 2024, Safic-Alcan will distribute SI Group’s full range of resins across Poland, extending a successful collaboration that already spans multiple regions.
