Süddeutsche Emulsions-Chemie GmbH celebrates 100 years

In September 2013, the Mannheim, Germany based chemical company celebrated its 100th anniversary. The fourth generation family owned business is managed by Dipl Ing Christian Kost and Dr Michael Kost (pictured right).

Since the beginning, Süddeutsche Emulsions-Chemie has dealt mainly with the production of waterborne emulsions and dispersions. It started with cod liver oil emulsions, which were produced and sold for veterinary and human use. In the late 70s development and production of waterborne wax additives for the paint and coatings sector began. In 2010, the company started with the development and production of polymer dispersions, which are used, for example, as a barrier for paper and cardboard, as well as waterborne heat-sealing dispersions for flexible packaging.
As a family owned, medium-sized company SEC focuses heavily on customer orientation and flexibility.
