"We have over 30 years of experience in biocides, resins, and additives, allowing us to provide our customers with first-class technical support and optimal service."

"The demands in the two markets, Great Britain and Germany, are continuously increasing, also due to increasingly strict legal regulations," explains David Zilm, Sales Manager Biocides at Vink Chemicals. "With Tennants as a partner, we are well-equipped to meet these challenges and can offer customized biocide products as well as ensure the best performance and optimal service for our customers."
