Brüggemann announces acquisition in Italy

With the acquisition of the Italian producer Auserpolimeri s.r.l. as of 29 July 2022, Brüggemann underlines the company's ambitious expansion strategy. Auserpolimeri's chemically functionalized polyolefin-based polymers play a key role as impact modifiers, compatibilisers, coupling agents and adhesion promoters in improving the performance levels of engineering plastics for a wide range of applications. They ideally complement and complete the existing range of high-performance additives from Brüggemann, according to Dr. Klaus Bergmann, Head of Polymer Additives at Brüggemann.

Both Brüggemann and Auserpolimeri are established manufacturers with proven expertise and long-standing international customer relationships and have grown strongly in recent years. Brüggemann Managing Director Dr. Stefan Lätsch emphasizes that the Eigenmann & Veronelli Group has not only developed the Auserpolimeri site near Lucca by investing in its facilities and personnel, but also expanded its extensive customer network to a global level.

Customers of both companies will benefit from the close cooperation between sales, R&D, application technology and production - in the future, they will be able to offer customers even more differentiated market and product solutions. Brüggemann is growing to more than 300 employees and sales of 210 million EUR/year.
