This move aligns with Oryx Chemical’s stated ambition to expand its European services and follows previous key acquisitions, including Acrom (2019) and Fenoplast (2023), aimed at strengthening its transformation and customization offerings. Gluetec Group was identified as the ideal partner to integrate into the group to accelerate this strategy.

"Gluetec Group is the ideal partner to help us fill a strategic gap in our service portfolio," said a representative from Oryx Chemical Erwan Menard "Their impressive capabilities in custom solutions, combined with their state-of-the-art production facilities and innovative R&D lab, will be invaluable as we continue to expand our European services. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our vision, and we are excited to support their continued growth."

The integration of Gluetec Group provides immediate strategic advantages to Oryx Chemical, including:

• Enhanced Service Capabilities: A significant increase in services like repacking, rebranding, tailored solutions, and contract filling.
• Access to Innovation: Direct access to Wiko’s laboratory and engineers for advanced testing, new certifications, and R&D.
• Strengthened Market Position: A boosted presence in Germany and expanded reach in key Eastern European markets.

The founder Wilhelm Kopp and his daughter Christine Kopp, Gluetec Group, added, "Joining forces with Oryx Chemical is an exciting milestone for our company. Their industrial expertise and long-term strategic approach will provide us with the support needed to accelerate our growth, expand our international footprint, and continue delivering the high-quality, innovative solutions our customers expect. We are confident that this partnership will create significant value for our clients and employees."
