Founded in 2014, Distona has built a solid reputation in the Swiss industrial chemicals market, particularly in CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers), Advanced Materials & Additives, and Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids. With this acquisition, Azelis strengthens its salesforce in Switzerland, broadens its product portfolio and creates synergies across the combined businesses. The integration supports Azelis’ strategy of growing its market position through targeted acquisitions and deepening its reach in the Swiss specialty and industrial chemicals sector. Distona’s co-owners, Daniel Altorfer and David Nipkow, highlighted the opportunities arising from joining Azelis, particularly in innovation and sustainable solutions. Marnik Tack, COO of Azelis EMEA, emphasised that the acquisition fits well with the company’s long-term growth strategy and strengthens its regional market presence.
