Omya strengthens its growth in Asia-Pacific with the acquisition of Prima Inter-Chem
Prima Inter-Chem Sdn Bhd is a diversified distributor of ingredients and specialty chemicals in Malaysia and Indonesia
Omya, based in Switzerland, has acquired the distributor Prima Inter-Chem in Malaysia and Indonesia. With this move, Omya boosts and develops its ingredient and specialty chemicals distribution in these countries for the food, pharmaceutical, animal feed and industrial markets. In addition, it establishes a platform for growth for the wider region.
Prima and Omya share the same values and a business approach of helping customers and principals expand their market reach, both locally and internationally. With this acquisition, Omya expands its presence—particularly in food and pharma ingredients—in the Asia-Pacific region, and its existing capabilities will be strengthened by the knowledge, experience and expertise that Prima brings to the Omya Group.
