Alufinish and Columbia Chemical are combining their sales and service capabilities and resources in the United States of America.

Alufinish and Columbia Chemical have recently jointly announced that the companies are combining their sales and service capabilities and resources for the United States of America, in order to expand the line of products and services to a broader base of customers in the local market. The collaboration will offer solutions for the surface treatment of aluminium alloys, covering the entire process: from pre-treatment to anodising and coating.

Alufinish GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned but internationally active company with a high-quality product portfolio of pre-treatment chemicals for the anodising and powder coating sector that are developed in-house. On the other hand, Columbia Chemical Corporation is a 100% employee-owned company based in Ohio which has been active in the field of specialty plating chemistries and surface finishing for almost fifty years.

“The ‘Build on Trust’ claim meets the ‘Simplifying Surface Finishing’ motto: two powerful and experienced companies are joining forces to offer an expanded line of products and services to a broader base of customers. By combining the experience of our companies, we will be able to offer a high-quality service for equally high-quality products in future,” has stated Stephan Zegers, the managing director of Alufinish GmbH & Co. KG.

“Columbia Chemical and Alufinish therefore not only share resources, but also important values: this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovation and excellence. By combining our strengths, we will be able to offer unparalleled service and drive further growth for the surface treatment of aluminium alloys in the US market,” has added Brett Larick, president of Columbia Chemical.
