An established, profitable, mid-sized company specializing in B2B distribution of engineering plastics and polymer-based material solutions is for sale. For many years, the company has been supplying compounders, extruders, and industrial OEMs across various industries and application segments, and has built long-standing relationships with customers and suppliers. It is explicitly not a pure commodity trader, but rather a technically oriented specialty distributor with extensive expertise in applications and materials. Customers benefit in particular from consulting services regarding material selection, specifications, and applications, as well as from long-standing international procurement relationships. The business model is based on direct access to manufacturers in Asia, strong procurement expertise, and application-specific technical consulting. Value creation encompasses material selection, international sourcing, logistics, customs clearance, and warehousing as needed. The company is operationally stable, generates positive EBITDA, and has a very solid balance sheet, capital, and liquidity structure. As part of an orderly business succession, a 100% sale is being pursued. The very well-maintained, investment-free commercial property can optionally be sold along with the business or leased on a long-term basis.

The offering is complemented by numerous add-on modules for customization. The software is field-tested, widely used, and characterized by a high degree of adaptability as well as deep integration into existing workflows.

The company sells consumer chemical products under its own brand, with a focus on household cleaning and automotive care. It operates highly efficiently with a lean workforce, highly automated processes (AI), and a fully digitized inventory management system (JTL). As a result, there is significant potential for scaling up, with over 28 products currently in development. Market expansion into the UK and the U.S. is already underway. A long-term, exclusive partnership with a fast-growing mid-sized manufacturer in Germany ensures product availability—95% of the products are produced exclusively for the company. The business is highly cash-flow optimized and minimizes the capital required for procurement. The appointed management team will remain on board long-term following the sale. A detailed scaling plan for the next three years calls for doubling the product range while maintaining the current staffing structure and existing processes. Additional growth opportunities arise from the company’s own online store, teleshopping, and B2B sales, as well as placement in brick-and-mortar retail stores. These prospects offer the potential to further develop the brand into one of the leading players in the household chemicals sector in Germany. The company is being sold directly by the shareholders. The reason for the sale is a change of location and personal and business changes affecting both shareholders.

The company, which has been in business for over a century and is based in South Baden, has firmly established itself as a professional online store and specialty retailer, serving as a go-to destination for a broad customer base in both the B2B and B2C sectors, particularly in the trades and DIY segments. With more than 700 brands and an extensive inventory of over 200,000 items, the company stands out for its diverse selection of tools, building supplies, and home improvement accessories. The company offers additional value through its procurement service, which is tailored to customer needs, and is supported by an experienced and stable team. The combination of brand diversity, local presence, and focused technical expertise positions the company as an attractive opportunity for strategists, successors, and investors.
