Gabriel-Chemie opens laboratory in Lodz / Poland and expands partner network

   In doing so the company not only strengthens its position as an internationally oriented masterbatch manufacturer; its presence on the Polish market also brings significant advantages for existing customers of colour matchings.“We have already had a sales office in Poland for six years now. Our circle of customers is constantly increasing and we see a rising need for fast reaction. A local laboratory offers our customers better and faster service”, DI Rodolfo Santa Olalla explains, CEO of the Gabriel-Chemie Group. “This is also an important step towards improving the cooperation with large, internationally operating customers and providing trans-national support.”Dr. Uwe Schmidt, CEO Gabriel-Chemie Polska sp.z o.o.
