Germany's Baerlocher to further expand Seremban plant

Global name: Arne Schulle (left) and Palaniappan. Schulle says the firm had grown to be a global name by adopting technology and market knowledge drawn from more than 190 years of company history.

FOUNDED in 1823, Germany based Baerlocher GmbH has developed from a local producer of sulphuric acid to be one of the world’s leading suppliers of additives for the plastics industry.

The company, which started off in Augsburg and in 1909 moved its headquarters to Unterschleissheim near Munich, now has its presence in more than 50 countries with more than 1,000 employees and production facilities in 15 production sites.
