Effective immediately, Bodo Möller Chemie (Offenbach / Germany; www.bm-chemie.de) will begin distributing Sigmatex's (Runcorn / UK; www.sigmatex.com) entire carbon fibre portfolio for composites applications in Europe and Russia. The materials include traditional 2D fibres as well as spread-tow fibres, unidirectional and multiaxial fibres, 3D fibres and carbon fibre reinforcements made of recycled material. The portfolio is used across a wide range of industrial sectors.

Bodo Möller Chemie CEO Frank Haug said the agreement broadens the distributor's offering of high-value carbon fibre products, strengthening its composites arm.
