DKSH’s Business Unit Performance Materials, a leading Market Expansion Services provider for specialty chemicals, was awarded the “2014 Evonik Strategic Distributor of the Year” award in the category “Excellence in Distribution” by Evonik Channel Management.

The award was presented to DKSH for “best in class reporting” after receiving unanimous praise within Evonik’s internal business lines for its state-of-art reporting. Evonik works with around 450 distributors, 36 of which are strategic partners, including DKSH. This puts DKSH at the forefront of digital market intelligence reporting in the specialty chemicals industry.

DKSH has been providing Market Expansion Services to Evonik in a cooperation since the 1990s and more recently expanded their partnership in 2012 to exclusively distribute Evonik’s coatings and adhesive resins product portfolio in Indonesia and Vietnam.

“It is with great honor that we receive this award from our valued key client, Evonik. We have a long history of collaboration together and to be recognized for our reporting further cements our position as a leading provider of Market Expansion Services and one that continues to adapt to the environment. We believe that the key to a successful relationship with a client is to understand their business needs, communicate with them well and keep them informed about the market and development of the business. As we continue on that basis, we very much look forward to further providing our recognized high levels of service,” commented Thomas Sul, Co-Head Business Unit Performance Materials.
