Biesterfeld broadens its distribution partnership with Songwon to include stabilizers for paints, coatings, and adhesives.

Biesterfeld, a leading global distributor of specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food ingredients, has announced the expansion of its successful partnership with Songwon CS, a renowned manufacturer and supplier of polymer stabilizers. Effective immediately, Biesterfeld will take over the distribution of SONGNOX® CS antioxidants and SONGSORB® CS light stabilizers across several additional countries. This move further enhances Biesterfeld’s portfolio of high-performance additives in key growth markets.

The SONGNOX® CS and SONGSORB® CS product lines feature specialized stabilizers designed for coatings, adhesives, sealants, and reactive resins. These additives protect materials from light and heat-induced degradation, extend the lifespan of finished products, and help maintain consistently high quality.

Under the extended agreement, Biesterfeld will now distribute these product lines in the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), as well as Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Romania. The collaboration between the two companies already covers Italy, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and parts of Germany.
