Scott Bader and HANS CLAUSSEN have recently agreed an expansion of their successful partnership in Scandinavia.

The expansion will see HANS CLAUSSEN distribute third party products, such as ancillaries and reinforcements, through their Swedish operation NB8 SOLUTIONS alongside Scott Bader products in Scandinavia, thus offering Scandinavian customers a ‘one-stop shop’ for their composite and adhesive needs. Scott Bader will also provide HANS CLAUSEEN and NB8 SOLUTIONS with warehousing services from their site in Falkenberg, Sweden.

HANS CLAUSSEN, a family-owned company established in 1889, will continue as Scott Bader’s exclusive distribution partner for their advanced composite and structural adhesive ranges in Norway.

Jonathan Stowell, Commercial Director for Scott Bader, said: “We have a longstanding strategic partnership with HANS CLAUSSEN. Their fantastic team have helped grow our presence in the Norwegian composite and adhesive markets. We are delighted to expand that partnership to offer our Scandinavian customers a streamlined process for purchasing our materials and the necessary third-party products alongside them.“

Jonas Claussen, owner and CEO of HANS CLAUSSEN said: “We have been working closely with Scott Bader for many years are proud and honoured to work even closer with them now. We will carry out the activity in Sweden from our company NB8 Solutions AB and I am sure that the Scott Bader team in Falkenberg and ourselves will complement each other perfectly. Our partnership increases our salesforce and improves our level of service, and we avoid importing to Norway and reselling back to the EU, giving greater flexibility for our customers.”
