France

Two years after their first agreement, the German corrosion protection specialist and the Italian applicator confirm their strategic alliance in France, now strengthened by a dedicated field representative and joint participation in trade fairs.

Gladbeck, Germany / Legnano, Italy — Säkaphen and Donelli Alexo are pleased to announce the renewal and strengthening of their commercial partnership in the French market.
