“Safic Alcan has a proven track record and will offer our customers an enhanced level of technical sales and service while providing a strong level of personal engagement,” says Markus Klügge, Director of Sales EMEA+I at HAM. “Safic Alcan is results-driven and an ideal fit in distributing the vast array of environmentally friendly fire retardants we offer. Our team is looking forward to our expanded partnership.”
“Huber and Safic Alcan have enjoyed a successful partnership in 2025, and we are very proud to strengthen our cooperation” said Sophie Pellissier, Global Rubber Business Unit Director at Safic Alcan. “This new step allows us to bring the complete Huber portfolio to all markets, ensuring that our customers benefit from innovative, sustainable flame-retardant solutions along with the technical and commercial support they expect from Safic Alcan.”
