Eastern Europe target for DSM Personal Care with new distribution deal

DSM Personal Care announces it is upping its collaboration with Nordmann, Rassmann Group, and will employ the German firm as its sole distributor in Central and Eastern Europe.

As of the start of this month, the Eastern European division of Nordmann, Rassmann Group will exclusively distribute DSM’s full personal care product portfolio in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia.

The two companies have been collaborating with one another in Germany since 2013 and The Netherlands since 2014, focused solely on the cosmetics industry.
