FRIENDSWOOD, US: Songwon International-Americas Inc has signed an exclusive agreement with a new distribution network in US. This includes Trans Western Chemicals (west coast), Chem-Materials (mid-west/southeast) and Callahan Chemical Company (northeast).  Now fully operational, the network is supplying Songwon’s complete line of UV absorbers, HALS, photoinitiators, and antioxidants for the coatings, inks and related markets in the respective regions within US.

Trans Western Chemicals, founded in 1981 and based in Southern California, is a specialty chemicals raw material supplier offering advanced solutions to customers in a variety of markets. “This new relationship with Songwon builds on our commitment to supply our customers with quality and technically innovative products,” said John Kirsch, Vice President of Operations at Trans Western Chemicals.
