Baerlocher establishes Baerlocher Germany GmbH & Co. KG, focusing on the needs of European markets

Munich (Germany), 19 June 2026 – The Baerlocher Group announces a significant organisational restructuring within the Group. Effective 1 July 2026, the operational business of the current Baerlocher GmbH will be transferred to an independent entity. This company will operate as Baerlocher Germany GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Lingen (Germany), and will be responsible for business in Europe. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Baerlocher GmbH, which will focus on its holding function.

The main opjective of this step is to clearly separate the operational business in Germany and Europe from the central holding functions. Arne Schulle, CEO of the Baerlocher Group, commented: “With this new structure, we are making our organisation clearer, more transparent, and more efficient. This allows us to establish explicit responsibilities, streamline decision-making processes, and focus even more closely on our customers’ needs.”

The newly formed company is responsible for the PVC stabilisers and specialty additives business units in the European sales region.

Dr. Thomas Doege, Managing Director of Baerlocher Germany GmbH & Co. KG, explains: “For our customers, continuity is maintained—their usual points of contact and our trusted working relationship remain unchanged. Our well-known values, such as reliability and customer focus, continue to be our absolute priority.”

Serving European Customers—Stability and Sustainability
Doege continues: “Europe remains a challenging market environment. As part of the global Baerlocher network, we offer our European customers supply reliability and high-quality products and services across a range of polymer and non-polymer applications. Sustainability continues to play a vital role—we support our customers with the sustainability expertise we have built up over many years, along with tailored solutions and innovative products.”

With its Baerolub AID product family, Baerlocher offers a PFAS-free alternative for polymer processing aids. These ensure high productivity and cost-effectiveness in film production. In this way, the company supports the plastics industry in complying with the PPWR (EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) regarding the replacement of PFAS.
