Albis is extending its existing collaboration with Covestro to Brazil. The new distribution rights cover polycarbonate and polycarbonate blends Makrolon, Bayblend, Apec and Makroblend, as well as thermoplastic polyurethanes, TPU, Desmopan and Texin. This expansion complements the portfolio that Albis already distributes in other regions. The Brazilian market will be served by Tecnomatiz, an Albis Group company and part of the group since 2025.
The new agreement strengthens Albis' position as a global distribution partner of Covestro and at the same time expands the company's presence in Latin America. Customers in Brazil are expected to gain broader access to Covestro's polycarbonate resins and blends, as well as thermoplastic polyurethanes, TPU, together with local advice and support. At the same time, Albis is continuing to develop its activities in South America and gradually make its international product and service portfolio available in Brazil.
Pablo Esteras, Managing Director of Albis Iberia and Regional Sales Director for Latin America, said: "The addition of Covestro products to the local portfolio is an important step in the further development of our activities in Latin America. Going forward, we will be able to offer our customers in Brazil a broader range of materials for demanding applications, with increasing importance attached to solutions aligned with the sustainability trend, particularly in the rapidly growing automotive, electrical and electronics, and healthcare segments."
Jessica Martendal, Managing Director of Covestro Brazil and Head of Engineering Plastics LATAM, added: "Brazil is an important market for Covestro with significant potential across various industries, and we are pleased to continue our collaboration with Albis here as well. With Tecnomatiz, an Albis Group company, we have a local partner that combines international distribution capabilities and technical expertise with local market knowledge. This provides a strong basis for supporting customers in Brazil in an even more targeted way."
