Swiss plastics distributor Meraxis has successfully completed the acquisition of French company Fournier Polymers. After a purchase agreement had already been signed in September 2022, the relevant authorities have now also given their approval under antitrust law<\/strong><\/p>

\u201eFournier and Meraxis have very similar values and ways of thinking, but we are also united by our internationality,\u201c emphasised Stefan Girschik, CEO of Meraxis. \u201eWe see ourselves as an all-round provider for our customers and the merger will enable us to expand our services in distribution, supply chain management, digitalisation and material development, right through to sustainability. The joint product portfolio also offers optimal synergy potential<\/strong> - In addition to standard polymers and additives, this primarily includes technical polymers.\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fournier serves plastics processors from various industries, including the automotive, electronics and construction sectors. With this acquisition, Meraxis is consistently pursuing its growth strategy. The globally active company takes over companies in nine countries.<\/strong> This includes the entire European branch with locations in France, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the United Kingdom and Germany as well as the North African companies in Morocco and Tunisia. All employees will be taken on. The contact persons for customers and partners will not change.<\/p>

The previous Fournier Managing Director and shareholder, Bruno Fournier, will also remain with the company. He will continue to manage the day-to-day operations. \u201eNothing will change for our customers and partners - except that the integration into the Meraxis Group means an increase in services from a single source,\u201c says Fournier. \u201eThe Meraxis one-stop shop provides polymer processors with everything they need - polymers, tools, technical advice, digital solutions and more. Such a full-service offering is maximally customer-orientated and simplifies the purchasing process considerably<\/strong>. Together with Meraxis, Fournier can shape the polymer trade of the future.\u201c<\/p>
