Groupe Berkem, an expert in bio-based chemistry, announces that it is considering merging its main subsidiaries, BERKEM, EUROLYO, LIXOL and ADKALIS, grouped together within their parent company BERKEM DEVELOPPEMENT (a wholly owned subsidiary of Groupe Berkem), according to a schedule currently being drawn up.
Simplify Organization and Optimize Interactions
Through this internal restructuring, Groupe Berkem intends to simplify its organization and optimize interactions between its various business areas. Groupe Berkem contributes to the ongoing ecological transition.
The synergies created between the various business lines and activities thanks to the Group's diversified expertise enable it to address the many needs of companies in terms of sustainability and to respond effectively to their expectations.
This project is a continuation of the reorganization carried out in recent months, which structures the Group around four high-potential core businesses:
-
Construction & Materials Division: Formulation of solutions for the protection, decoration and maintenance of wood and mineral materials at all stages in the life of buildings and construction materials
-
Health, Beauty & Nutrition Division: Development of active plant ingredients for cosmetics, nutraceuticals and the food industry
-
Hygiene & Protection Division: Production of solutions dedicated to protecting people, foodstuffs and products against pests and damage caused by fungi
-
Industry: Resin synthesis for the printing ink market, or even technical vegetable oils and solutions for the adhesive and road marking markets
"
Groupe Berkem has built its identity
around strong expertise, strengthened over the years by targeted acquisitions that have enabled us to
address high-potential market niches. With the recent acquisitions of i.Bioceuticals and Biopress and the
intensification of our international strategy, symbolized by our recent joint venture in the Ivory Coast, we
felt it was essential to restructure our organization. In addition to simplifying our Group’s operations, the
aim of this merger is to unite us around a common project, namely, to integrate bio-based chemistry into
conventional chemistry. We know that our unique expertise and that the many possible synergies between
our different industrial activities will enable us to respond even more effectively to the issues facing industry
today in terms of the ecological transition," said Olivier Fahy, chairman and CEO of Groupe Berkem.
