SAERTEX AND BIESTERFELD LAUNCH PARTNERSHIP ON THE IBERIAN MARKET IN THE AEROSPACE AND AUTOMOTIVE SECTORS

Saerbeck, March 01, 2022 – Effective immediately, the Biesterfeld Group is supporting the sale of SAERTEX products to the aerospace and automotive markets for the Iberia region. The cooperation will provide Spanish and Portuguese customers with qualified consulting and the best possible access to SAERTEX products.

The new agreement between SAERTEX and the Biesterfeld Group covers the sales partnership for the Iberian Peninsula and becomes effective immediately. It concerns the aerospace and automotive application areas which strategically complement the existing SAERTEX distribution network for industrial customers in Spain and Portugal. Existing SAERTEX customers can continue to consult their usual contact person.

Through this cooperation, customers will benefit from an increased presence in the Iberian market as well as responsive service and uncomplicated access to the SAERTEX product portfolio. Sven Blank, Commercial Director at SAERTEX, is also looking forward to the cooperation: "In Biesterfeld we have gained a strong distribution partner with an excellent reputation for aerospace and automotive applications. We are confident that the company’s application-oriented know-how and excellent networking will further develop our business in the Iberian market. A strong customer focus ensures comprehensive service around SAERTEX's range of customized multiaxial non-crimp fabrics."

In addition to the multiaxial non-crimp-fabrics for which SAERTEX is known, Biesterfeld rounds off the range with modern composite materials such as prepregs, adhesive films, adhesives and primers, which are chiefly used in aerospace, the automotive industry and other industrial applications. Customers thus benefit from an all-in-one solution from a single source. In addition to a product portfolio tailored to the needs of the industry, Biesterfeld also offers solution-oriented, application technology expertise and local consulting.

The new sales partnership in Spain and Portugal consolidates the long-standing relationship between the two companies through the close cooperation between SAERTEX and Biesterfeld in the Polish market. The Biesterfeld Group is represented there by Milar Sp. z o. o..

"SAERTEX is a long-standing and reliable partner to Biesterfeld. The continuous investments we make throughout Europe to deliver first-class products with first-class support and best availability are unthinkable without the cooperation of leading suppliers like SAERTEX. We are delighted that together, we can bring market-leading products, solutions and local support to the Iberian market. We see this as an important region, particularly in the automotive and aerospace segments," assures Stig Eines, Market Manager Composites & Tooling at Biesterfeld Spezialchemie.
