Garmon Chemicals restarts from the future, directly from the stage of the Kingpins Show in Amsterdam (April, 18-19). In January the company was acquired by Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer committed to improving the quality, safety and efficacy of feed, food and health-related products. Kemin touches more than 3.8 billion lives every day with its products and services. It’s a whole new path the one that Garmon is building with Kemin’s support on three main pillars: sustainability, constant innovation and a stronger relationship with its customers. Both companies share ambitious goals supported by an effective strategy aimed to increase Garmon’s brand R&D scope, commercial penetration and product offer. Once again, Garmon de nes the benchmark in textiles auxiliaries business. The rst step of this empowering path was set by the appointment of a new Marketing and Business Development Director: Donald Mulazzani. With a strong fashion and sportswear background, Mr. Mulazzani, who joined the company in February 2018, points out Garmon’s new vision supported by Kemin unique expertise:

“We are strategically planning to grow our business. In order to achieve our objectives, we will be completely in tune with our customer’s needs, to become the real link that joins chemistry, fashion and sportswear” claims the Marketing and Business Development Director.

The main goals are strengthening the relationship with the brand customers while activating new business areas and focusing on continuous sustainable improvements.

In this direction Kemin will support the Italian company with all its product innovation experience, enhancing a strong marketing oriented approach, while using its production and logistics platforms. As a link ensuring continuity in this process, Garmon Chemicals’ President Maurizio Cappellini will continue to lead the team. This transition is expected to be a real re-boot of the core business that remains focused on chemical auxiliaries for denim, fashion and sportswear industry above all. The Italian company has been creating special relationships with top denim and sportswear brands, affirming itself as a key player able to offer a fashion-forward approach towards textile chemistry. Reputation and credibility now representing the keys to embrace new challenges to closely meet customers’ needs. Moreover, by leveraging Kemin’s international manufacturing facilities, the aim is to become a truly “glocal” company. This will make the business more efficient and more eco-friendly, by reducing its carbon footprint and saving energy.
