About Manuchar
Manuchar strongly believes in the value of long-term partnerships. We aim to build a strong and sustainable business that enables other companies to be successful in high-growth markets. This long-term view explains our systematic investments in infrastructure and teams in strategic locations in high-growth markets. We believe local presence and proximity are essential to build lasting relationships. Our entrepreneurial spirit ensures that we remain agile.
In 1985 Manuchar was incorporated into the activities of A. Maas & Co, a group founded in 1880 which evolved into a strong logistics group over the years. In 2022 Lone Star Funds entered as new majority shareholder, alongside Manuchar's management. This partnership marks a new milestone in building Manuchar’s leading chemical distribution platform across high-growth markets with the aim to further strengthen its global network, both geographically and in product offering.
