Germany’s Biesterfeld (Hamburg; www.biesterfeld.com) said it has launched Biesterfeld Baltic as part of its geographical expansion strategy. Based in Riga, Latvia, and headed up by Aurelijus Vaišnoras as general manager, the group said the new unit’s portfolio will cover speciality chemicals and polymer and rubber products.

Peter Wilkes, a member of the Biesterfeld executive board, said, “Riga, with its central location and well-developed infrastructure in the Baltics, serves as an ideal hub for our operations in the region.”

The German group’s expansion plans most recently saw it acquiring South African composites distributor Aerontec. It now has more than 50 locations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America, generating annual revenue of EUR 1.38 bn with around 1,100 employees. In addition to its materials portfolio, the group provides consulting services in its three business units Biesterfeld Plastic, Biesterfeld Spezialchemie, and Biesterfeld Performance Rubber.
